Veteran Information
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Veterans are reminded that their Veterans Administration (VA) payments represent an allotment based on the number of courses taken in the first term at Franklin Pierce. Any change in entitlement resulting from an increase or decrease in course load will take a month or longer to be processed by the VA.
This may result in under- or over-payments that will be adjusted in the next next payment. All overpayments must be returned to the VA according to VA policy. The VA may discontinue benefits for students who do not have previous transcripts sent to center within 30 days of enrollment.
VA – Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) (monies sent directly to school)
VA payments are sent directly to the school. The Veterans Administration’s Authorization
and Certification must be completed prior to the student enrolling in the school.
This paperwork informs the school the student is eligible for these benefits and that
the school has to submit an invoice for payment. The benefit covers all tuition, books,
and fees.
Veterans Benefit Policy
For students that are determined to be eligible for any type of Veterans Educational
Benefits and/or entitlements, all sources of Franklin Pierce funding will be prorated,
and possibly eliminated, dependent upon the amount the student is deemed eligible
for in assistance from the VA. Refunds of financial assistance will only be for eligible
Federal Pell Grant recipients.
