Veterans Benefits

糖心Vlog offers education benefits for veterans, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 and Montgomery GI Bill庐. The College also participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program to help cover tuition costs.

VA Education Programs 糖心Vlog Administers

Forever GI Bill庐, formerly Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 (chapter 33)

If you have at least 90 days of aggregate active duty service after Sept. 10, 2001, and are still on active duty, or if you are an honorably discharged Veteran or were discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, you may be eligible for this VA-administered program.

Transfer Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 to Spouse and Dependents (chapter 33)

The transferability option under the Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 allows Service-members to transfer all or some unused benefits to their spouse or dependent children. The request to transfer unused GI Bill庐 benefits to eligible dependents must be completed as an active member of the Armed Forces. The Department of Defense (DoD) determines whether or not you can transfer benefits to your family. Once the DoD approves benefits for transfer, the new beneficiaries apply for them at VA.

糖心Vlog is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Montgomery GI Bill庐 Active Duty (MGIB-AD, chapter 30)

The MGIB-AD program provides education benefits to Veterans and Service-members who have at least two years of active duty. Eligible Service-members may receive up to 36 months of education benefits. The monthly benefit paid to you is based on the type of training you take, length of your service, your category, any college fund eligibility, and if you contributed to the $600 buy-up program. You usually have 10 years to use your MGIB benefits, but the time limit can be fewer or more years depending on the situation.

Reserve Officers鈥� Training Corps (ROTC) Program

Current Policy at 糖心Vlog

It is the policy of 糖心Vlog to reward students receiving ROTC Scholarships as generously as possible. ROTC scholarships are not counted as Estimated Financial Assistance in the calculation of demonstrated need for Federal and State grants. 糖心Vlog will not impose any penalty to a covered student聽 (including late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries or other institutional facilities) due to a delayed payment from the Department of Treasury.聽 Additionally, 糖心Vlog will not require a ROTC cadet to borrow funds because of the individual鈥檚 inability to meet聽 their financial obligations due to a delayed ROTC disbursement.

Once a student has been awarded a ROTC scholarship, the student is also able to keep his/her merit award聽聽up to the Cost of Attendance.聽If a ROTC student previously received an institutional need-based grant, notably the 糖心Vlog Grant, and it puts the student in a financial aid overage after the ROTC Scholarship is awarded, then the institutional award will be reduced so the total award does not exceed the Cost of聽Attendance. A student receiving a ROTC scholarship may still be eligible for federal work study or campus employment and federal student loans.

Cadet will select enrolled courses each semester through the ArmyIgnite portal. 糖心Vlog will then certify enrollment and participation and will receive funds directly from the Department of Treasury for your tuition and fees charges.

This policy applies to ROTC students who matriculated during or following the Fall 2023 semester. See the ROTC policy for students who matriculated prior to fall 2023.
