Military Tuition Benefit

.
You must file a special application
for
the benefit that includes an affidavit on official letterhead confirming active military status and duty station and military dependent status if applicableSlide5

If you will be using your Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits, the maximum amount approved by the VA for North Carolina public universities is sufficient to cover
in-state tuition and
fees
but NOT out-of-state charges
We can help you get your bill figured out and help you defer your payment if you have financial aid or VA benefits waiting.
We can help you get your books if you are waiting on your financial aid or VA benefits to pay out
In order to place any type of hold on your account, our office must have all VA documents in your file.Slide6
