Federal Veteran Benefits
The Bursar is the Veterans Administration (VA) representative for Bellin College students. To receive veterans’ educational benefits, student-veterans must be certified. Students eligible for federal programs such as the Montgomery GI Bill®, Post 9/11 and other VA programs - must be certified by both the VA and the Bellin College Bursar office. All VA benefits are subject to the individual’s specific length of duty and the benefits of the program. Since the College is a private institution, they are subject to the tuition cap set by the Department of Defense for each program.
It is the applicant’s/student’s responsibility to understand their eligibility for federal and state veteran’s benefits and adhere to program requirements. The number for individual educational inquiries is 1-888-422-4551 or 1-888-GI-BILL1. The website is www.gibill.va.gov.

It is extremely important that all veterans adhere to their specific chapter requirements, so that tuition can be paid promptly along with any stipend or housing allowance.
A DD214, along with a letter from your branch of service, is required to certify tuition benefits. The letter can be obtained from the local county VA office.
