Veteran’s Education and Transition Services - Payment Options
Advanced Pay
Veterans may apply for advance payment of educational benefits before the start of the term. This must be done at least 30 days prior to the start of classes but not more than 120 days in advance.
Advance payment will include two months of payments and the student will not receive further benefits until the end of the third month. Benefits are normally paid at the end of the month for the preceding month. You must seek assistance from the Office of Veteran’s Affairs to take advantage of advanced pay.
Verification of Enrollment
Chapter 30 and 1606/1607 students are required to verify school attendance on the last calendar day of each month. Failure to verify will result in no monthly stipend check until verification. Verification can be done online or by phone at 1-877/823-2378.
University Bill Payment
VA Educational Benefits are paid to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to pay the University for services and supplies. The Bursar’s Office offers several installment plans to pay for tuition. Please contact the Bursar’s Office for further details.
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is available for Chapter 30, 31 and 1606/1607 recipients only. Contact the Office of Veteran Affairs for information or call 1-877-838-2778.
