The Colleges assist veterans of the armed forces with completing proper forms and coordinating the certification procedures for monthly benefits administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The college VA office may also provide information about VA educational benefits and assist with accomplishing enrollment services. For more information about benefits, visit www.gibill.va.gov.

VA regulations are subject to change without notice. Contact the college veterans' affairs office for information about current regulations and procedures. Direct questions about specific financial benefits to the VA Regional Office at 1-888-442-4551.
