Veteran Students FAQs
Troops to Teachers (TTT) continues to pursue the goal of helping to relieve teacher shortages, especially in math, science, special education and other high needs subject areas, and to assist military personnel in making successful transitions to second careers in teaching. Federal legislation provides TTT enrollees pursuing requirements for teaching certification, who agree to teach in high need school districts, a stipend of up to $5,000 to offset the cost of teacher training programs. Those willing to teach in schools with a high percentage of students from low income families may receive a $10,000 bonus. Program participants cannot receive more than a total of $10,000 from TTT. Check out Wisconsin's Troops to Teachers Benefits. Contact the Veterans' Benefits Coordinator by emailing vnsc{atuws} to see if you are eligible for these additional benefits.

You can file your FAFSA online any time after October 1 for the following academic year. For 2018-2019 UW-Superior has a priority deadline of January 15.

Students will need to use 2016 tax and income information for the 2018-2019 FAFSA. You can file your FAFSA at any time during the academic year and still receive aid for fall/spring term, however, your file must be complete with us no later than one week prior to the end of the last semester attended.

Students who are U.S. citizens, or eligible non-citizens, enrolled at half-time status or more, may qualify for financial aid. Some restrictions apply. Pell grant recipients may be eligible if they are less than half time. While it may be true that not all students qualify for grants (money which does not have to be paid back), all students who apply for financial aid and meet the general eligibility requirements are eligible for some type of financial aid, including loans. In addition, financial conditions within the family may change over the course of the year (ex. layoffs, divorce/separation, etc.) and aid may be adjusted to reflect the circumstances faced by the family.

Once you have submitted everything we need, you will be notified within a week whether you have been accepted as a student or not. You will receive an acceptance email and an acceptance letter in the mail.

Admission and registration procedures, text ordering, etc., can be completed without coming to campus. The majority of coursework can be completed without coming to campus, including all requirements for Individually Designed Majors. There are a small number of exceptions. In the Elementary Education Major, HHP 343 and 344 are offered only on campus and are usually taken in a three-week block in summer when both courses are offered concurrently for Distance Learning students.
Elementary Education majors pursuing the Early Childhood Minor must take three Saturday seminars which are offered in Superior, and are sometimes available from other universities which may be geographically more convenient.
