Please know that applying for your VA educational benefits can be a long process from start to finish. It is best to start the paperwork as early as possible to ensure that the processing of your benefits is complete well in advance of the start of each semester.

Students may apply for benefits under one of the chapters below associated with VA educational benefits. Follow the links to learn about eligibility requirements.

Students may also be eligible for state veterans awards or tuition assistance:
Note: If you are eligible for Chapter 33 – Post 9/11 GI Bill ™ at the 100% rate, or Chapter 31 – Voc Rehab you will not be eligible for state aid awards (TAP/VTA or DoD TA).

Armed Forces Tuition Assistance (TA):

Benefits paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application processes, and restrictions. The money is usually paid directly by the service branch to the college.

Each of the military branches have information for their processes at www.military.com.
