Before You Request to Use Educational Benefits

Prior to enrolling in courses at UIS we encourage you to reach out to your Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor within your Military Service or a Veterans Service Officer (VSO) to make sure you fully understand the benefits available to you.

The UIS application and veterans’ applicant fee waiver

The first step in attending UIS is to complete the appropriate UIS Application Form. UIS waives the application fee for Veterans. Upload your DD214 or military documentation when completing the application in order to receive the waiver.
