FAQs

  • If you are entitled to 100% benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the VA will cover all tuition and fees, except for the application fee. If enrolled in the Two-Year Conservatory, students may need to take a term off to avoid exceeding the yearly tuition cap. For more details about benefits & caps, please visit the VA website.

This waiting period begins the date that the student provides appropriate documentation and continues either until funds are received from the VA or until 90 days after the School Certifying Official has certified the student’s enrollment for tuition and fees.
