Lawrence is a fully certified institution committed to the education of military veterans. Below is information that outlines the resources at your disposal.
Veterans Admissions
VA Benefits and the Yellow Ribbon Program
Lawrence participates fully in the Yellow Ribbon Program and that allows extra scholarship funds to be available without any additional charge to your GI bill entitlements. For more information, visit the Yellow Ribbon Program online. You can also apply for veteran's benefits via the VA website. You can find more information available on Military Veteran Benefit Options.
Wisconsin County Veteran's Service Officers
If you have additional questions, you can also contact your Wisconsin County Veteran's Service Officer. Contact information can be found for each Wisconsin county online.
Apply to Lawrence
To begin your application, select either the Common Application or the Lawrence Application. Both applications are the same, so use whichever your prefer. (Our advice: if you are applying to other colleges and universities who use the Common Application, this is a great choice. If you are not applying to other schools who use the Common Application, the Lawrence Application may work better for you.) Lawrence University does not charge an application fee. At this time, applications for admission are being accepted for entry in the Fall of 2019 and for the 2020-2021 academic year.
