Veteran Benefits

a new GI bill for a new century

Veteran education benefits are administered through the Financial Aid Office.

To Apply for Veteran Education Benefits You must:

  • Complete an admissions application to TSJC
  • Be seeking a degree or certificate program approved for education benefits.
  • Register for courses which are required for completion of your degree/certificate
  • You must make application for VA benefits through the VA website:http://gibill.va.gov
  • Submit a copy of the Veteran’s DD214 showing the discharge status to the Financial Aid Office.
  • Submit a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility to the Financial Aid Office.
  • Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress
  • Report any enrollment changes, course drops, withdrawals or any date you stop attending classes.

This must be done each semester of attendance.

  • Prior to the beginning of each semester notify the Financial Aid Office of your intent to register.

Failure to do so will delay your Veteran’s benefits.

Enrollment certification will be done after census date of the semester of attendance. This is two weeks after your classes start. Please allow the VA 30 days after enrollment certification to pay any benefits to you or the school.

You are responsible for the bill until the money is received. Contact the Business Office to make payment arrangements.
