VA Benefit Contacts

Financial Aid Contacts for VA Benefit Information

After we have received documentation of your VA Benefits, we will work with the University's certifying official to process your benefits through the VA.

Whether you are a prospective student or are currently enrolled, you will likely have questions about eligibility, University policies, and/or processing. The following administrators can be contacted to help assist you in determining eligibility and answering your questions.

Veterans or dependents using the Post 9-11 GI Bill® who do not see a payment by VA or an anticipated VA credit on their student account during a period of enrollment should notify the appropriate financial aid contact below.
