If you served on active duty, you might be eligible for education benefits offered by the
Department of Veterans Affairs. For example, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides financial support for educational and housing expenses to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service after September 10, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®.

If you are currently serving in the military, you may be eligible for funding offered through the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program. Check your eligibility status and the amount for which you qualify with your Service prior to enrolling. If you are the spouse or child of a service member who is serving on active-duty Title 10 orders in the paygrades of E1-E5, O1-O2, or W1-W2, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the Department of Defense for education, training, and/or the occupational license and credentials necessary for a portable career. If you are the spouse or child of a service member, you may be eligible for transfer of the
service member’s Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits to you.

Students who wish to use veterans’ educational benefits should identify themselves to our Admissions Team as soon as possible so the proper enrollment certification procedures can be initiated for your program. If you don’t know what Chapter you are claiming, please contact the Department of Veterans’ Affair (1-888-442-4551).

Please bring a copy of your DD214 to your appointment to allow our VA Official to help facilitate you to use your VA Benefits for schooling.
Steps to using your VA Education Benefits:

1. If you are eligible for VA education benefits, you will need to complete and submit an application (VA form 22-1990) to the regional Veterans Administration Office. Begin the application process on the GI Bill® Website.
2. After submitting the application, you will receive written notification explaining the VA’s decision regarding your eligibility for the benefit program you applied for. If you are eligible, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) that specifies your eligible program, benefit rate, and length of eligibility. Once you receive your COE and are deemed eligible, you will need to submit a copy of your COE to Albany Beauty Academy
3. Once you are enrolled at Albany Beauty Academy, a VA Certification Application must be completed and turned in for certification (depending on the applicable Chapter) the recipients wish to use their VA education benefits. Benefits will not pay unless this form is completed.
