Military and Veteran Resource Center

Our mission is to ensure student veterans, reservists, National Guard, active duty and family members receive university support in achieving academic success. We are here to assist students in receiving requested educational benefits while also raising awareness of campus resources for UWRF students and federal and state resources that are available for veterans.

Principles of Excellence

In compliance with federal regulations, UW-River Falls discloses its estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) as defined for and utilized in packaging financial aid awards. This COA estimate is inclusive of both actual charges and other individual personal costs of attending college, so it will not reflect the exact total you see on your bill. In reviewing charges, please note that UWRF includes a textbook rental charge in its fees, offering you a significant out-of-pocket cost benefit. COA estimates can be found at the UWRF financial aid website

Financial Aid counselors are available to assist at finaid@uwrf.edu or at 715-425-3141.
