The UAF Financial Aid office assists veterans, service members and eligible dependents with paperwork for degree and certificate programs. As a liaison with the Department of Veterans' Affairs, the office monitors the academic progress of veterans, in compliance with Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations.

The Financial Aid office advises and monitors the educational progress and status of Chapters 30 (New Montgomery GI Bill), 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation), 32 (VEAP), 33 (Post 9-11 GI Bill), 35 (Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program), 1606 (Selected Reserve) and 1607 (Reserve Educational Assistance Program REAP).

This website offers information about UAF's programs and how to apply. Because the Department of Veterans' Affairs processes benefit payments as a form of reimbursement, you should initiate your VA paperwork 60-90 days prior to your school start date.

If you are interested in applying for VA educational benefits under any of the chapters listed, please click on "Apply for benefits" or contact us at:
