Veteran Education Benefits

Veteran Education benefits are meant to help offset the expenses involved in pursuing your education. These benefits may help cover the cost of tuition, books, and housing. As part of the Office of the Registrar, the Veteran Certification Team is available to help veterans and their dependents understand and apply for Veteran Education Benefits. We are dedicated to processing your benefits accurately and efficiently. We look forward to helping you achieve your education goals.
