Veterans Benefits.
The United States Veterans
Administration operates various education assistance programs for
eligible veterans, war orphans, surviving spouse or child of any
veteran killed while on duty with the Armed Forces, disabled veterans,
dependents of a veteran with service-related total disability, and
certain members of the selected reserve. Inquiries concerning
eligibility may be directed to the Veterans Administration office in
Newark, New Jersey (800/242-5867), or to the veterans coordinator on
each campus. For New Brunswick, the number is 732/932-7067.
Veterans and others mentioned above who plan to utilize veterans`
education benefits should initially present the Veterans Administration
Certificate of Eligibility Form(s) and/or discharge papers (certified
copy of the DD214) when registering for courses. If applying for other
financial aid with the university, veterans must report the fact that
they will receive veterans` education benefits to the Office of
Financial Aid.
Veterans planning to train under Chapter 32
VEAP, Chapter 30 of the New (Montgomery) GI Bill of 1984, or Chapter
106 for Reservists are required by the university to pay cash for
tuition, fees, books, and supplies when due. Veterans, in turn, receive
an allowance for each month of schooling based upon credits and the
number of dependents.
No veteran may officially withdraw from
a course (or courses) without prior approval from the academic services
and/or dean of students` offices. All withdrawals must be submitted in
writing. The date of official withdrawal will be the determining date
for changes in benefits. Failure to comply with the official school
withdrawal procedure may affect both past and future benefits. Any
change in schedule also must be reported to the campus Office of
Veterans Affairs.
