VETERANS EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS

Students who wish to receive Veterans educational benefits while attending Kentucky State University need to contact the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, P.O. Box 66830, St. Louis, Missouri, 63166-6830 or by phone at 1-877-823-2378 to inquire about their eligibility. All eligible veterans, enlisted military personnel, dependents, and ROTC students who have been admitted into a degree-granting program within the University need to contact the Military Student Services Coordinator in the Office of the University Registrar, Academic Services Building Suite 323.

Students should be prepared to pay for their initial tuition and textbook expenses until they have been notified by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs of eligibility. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Military Student Services Coordinator of any changes during any given semester for which VA educational benefits are received. Failure to do so may result in an overpayment, and the student will be responsible for repayment to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Office of Military Student Services offers support to all Military students. KSU recognizes four categories concerning Military Students: Enlisted Student, Veteran Student, Dependent Student, and ROTC Student. KSU has a special registration process for each category.

The Enlisted Student:

1. will be required to meet with the Military Student Services Coordinator upon enrollment at KSU and each term of registration. This meeting will be to ensure student information is up to date in the system and to certify course enrollment for the term;
2. will sign the Military Student Services Enrollment Reporting Form. By signing this document, the student gives the certifying official permission to report enrollment to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Kentucky Tuition Assistance Program, and Federal Tuition Assistance Program, which will result in benefit disbursement;
3. will sign a Financial Aid Withholding Authorization form (FAWA). By signing this document, the student ensures any financial obligation they have to the University will be met using the authorized military benefit;
4. will sign up for a Payment Installment Option (PIO), if they incur fees, fines, etc. that are not covered by the authorized military benefit;
