Veterans Benefits.
The United States Veterans
Administration operates various education-assistance programs for
eligible veterans, war orphans, surviving spouses or children of
veterans 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 (800/827-1000); the New Jersey Department of
Military and Veterans Affairs in New Brunswick, New Jersey
(732/937-6347); or to the veterans coordinator on each campus. For New
Brunswick, the number is 732/445-3557.
Veterans and others
mentioned above who plan to use veterans` education benefits should
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 to the Office of Financial Aid that they will
receive veterans` education benefits.
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 withdraw
officially 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 must also be reported to the campus
Office of Veterans Affairs.
