If you are interested in education benefits from VA, you
must first determine the following:
- Are you eligible for State and/or Federal
benefits (two separate application processes)? Your local
Veterans’ Affairs office (Fort Payne: 256-845-8572)
(Scottsboro: 256-259-1411) can assist you in determining
which application should be completed.
- What chapter are you eligible to receive
(veterans, spouses and/or dependents)?
Refer to
www.gibill.va.gov for more information concerning VA
benefits.
Federal VA benefits: The first step
toward receiving Federal VA benefits is to complete the online
application at
www.gibill.va.gov (Click on “Apply for Benefits” – you will
be prompted to create a username and password; simply follow the
directions as shown and submit your application). All
correspondence from VA will be to the address you list on the
application. As soon as you receive the “Certificate of
Eligibility”, please bring a copy to the Financial Aid office
together with your DD214 or NOBE. At this time your VA file will
be created and you are ready to register for classes! The key to
receiving your benefits is bringing a copy of your class
schedule each semester to the Financial Aid office.
State VA benefits: If you are eligible to receive State
VA benefits, your local Veterans’ Affairs office (Fort Payne:
256-845-8572) (Scottsboro: 256-259-1411) will assist you with
the application process. When your eligibility is confirmed, you
and the Financial Aid office will receive a Certificate of
Entitlement from the Montgomery office. At this point, the key
to receiving your benefits is bringing a copy of your class
schedule each semester to the Financial Aid office.
We appreciate our veterans, are thankful for our freedom and
are here to assist you with your VA education benefits!
