Military and Veteran Benefits
Veteran benefits applications and processing
Thank you for your service! Here’s how to capitalize on your benefits.
Depending on your benefit, you may have to apply once (VA Federal), yearly (State) or each semester (Department of Defense). You must apply for all benefits.
To ensure prompt processing of your educational benefits, please submit your “Veterans Request for Certification” (R4C) immediately after enrolling and every semester afterward.
