VA Benefits

Most of our member schools are "Approved for VA Education Benefits". The Department of Veterans Affairs is the government agency responsible for determining eligibility for VA education benefits and for authorizing payment for the benefits. If you have questions about the available benefits or your eligibility, please contact your school's admissions office.

You may also visit http://www.gibill.va.gov/ to learn more about the available benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If you wish to pursue a degree using your VA benefits at NAHETS Member School , our admissions department will help you complete all the necessary paperwork to certify enrollment or to make changes in enrollment, to ensure eligibility for VA benefits.

In addition, you will need to complete the Veterans Benefits Certification Request form. Your School can assist you with completion of this form.
