Veteran's Association Benefits
If you are a veteran, you may
be eligible for VA assistance...[more info]
Who can receive Veteran's Association Benefits?
Veterans and other eligible persons under the provision of Section
1776, Title 38, United States Code.
How do I sign up for my benefits?
Apply
for the Certificate of Eligibility with the Registrar in the Administrative
Office. The Certificate of Eligibility should be presented to the Academic
Dean by the student. He should not mail any papers directly
to the Veterans Administration.
Due to the time
required to process new applications by the V.A., students will frequently
have their initial checks delayed past October 21. Students should
file their applications for benefits as soon as possible so that this
delay will be as brief as possible.
All veterans attending college must realize they are responsible for
their college payments. When checks from the V.A. are late in arriving,
the student will still need to make the payments on his bill as is
required of the other students.
How many hours do I need to take?
Providence Baptist College is considered by the Veterans Administration
to be on a “credit-hour” basis.
- 6-8 semester hours...one-half V.A. Benefits
- 9-11 hours...three-fourths V.A. Benefits
- 12-20 hours...full V.A. Benefits
Restrictions
Any veteran not maintaining at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point
average will be put on academic counseling by the college. Students
not maintaining a 2.0 average while on academic counseling
will be placed in the Survey Program. Courses taken while a student
is in the Survey Program will not lead to regular college credit. Students
may not receive V.A. benefits while in the Survey Program and would
not be eligible to receive benefits for a minimum of two regular semesters.
