Each student must apply for benefits directly with the VA.

Once official approval of the student’s eligibility to participate in an educational program is received, the student is responsible for requesting certification from the Office of Financial Aid every term.

The Office of Financial Aid is then responsible for certifying current school enrollment and requesting payment based on the student’s number of enrolled hours. NOTE: Enrollment certifications are submitted to the VA within 30 days from the first day of classes.
