Scholarships
There are many ways to supplement your VA educational benefits, including financial aid and scholarships. It is advised that all student veterans apply for both.
Financial Aid
As a military affiliated student, you may apply for FAFSA for additional assistance. This will not disrupt or take away your VA Educational Benefits. The process of applying for aid can seem complicated and time consuming, and we want to make it go as smoothly as possible for you.
When you call the Financial Aid Office, their information specialists will answer your questions. If you need more information, they will forward your call to the processor who oversees your application. The same processor will always work with your application. Financial aid policies may change because of federal regulation or university decision; therefore, some information at this site may change.
