Montreat College is happy to participate in Veterans’ Affairs educational benefit programs and military tuition assistance programs.
About VA Benefits
Veterans’ benefits are applicable to both our School of Adult and Graduate Studies and our School of Arts and Sciences. Students in the School of Arts and Sciences are also allowed to apply for the Yellow Ribbon program within the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
All students using Veterans’ benefits to help pay for their Montreat College education are required to submit the following paperwork to the Certifying Official prior to beginning their benefits:
- Apply for VA educational benefits at https://www.vets.gov/education/apply-for-education-benefits/application/1990/introduction. Send a copy of the completed application to va@montreat.edu.
- Certificate of Eligibility (sent to the student by the VA after an application is approved)
- Montreat College Memorandum of Understanding for using VA Benefits (see below)
Please review the Montreat College Procedure for Processing Veteran’s Benefits below.
Information about GI Bill education benefits, other Veteran Affairs education benefits and VA forms are available at: benefits.va.gov/gibill/ or www.vets.gov.
School of Adult and Graduate Studies students may be eligible for a military discount through Montreat College. The discount is extended to active duty military, honorably discharged veterans, and qualifying spouses of service members from any branch of the military who are pursing a degree through the Montreat College School of Adult and Graduate Studies. Please see the Application for Military Discount below for more information.
