VA – VOC REHAB (monies sent directly to school) Veteran’s Administration checks are sent directly to the school. The Veteran’s Administration’s Authorization and Certification must be completed prior to the student enrolling in the school. This paperwork informs the school the student is eligible for these benefits and that the school has to submit an invoice for payment. The benefit covers all tuition, books and fees.
Veteran’s Benefit Policy
