Eligible applicants and their dependents may qualify for veterans' educational benefits that are available through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. If you think you may be entitled to these benefits, contact the VA's education information hotline at 1-888-442-4551 or go to www.gibill.va.gov.

To use your benefits, you must be admitted to the college in a program approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

In general, you will begin to receive your benefits after the Financial Aid Office certifies your enrollment and education plan. You'll receive benefits only during your times of certified enrollment. Contact the Financial Aid Office each semester you plan to use benefits so we can certify your enrollment. It can take two to three months for the federal government to process the benefits application.
