Veterans’ Affairs

The University of Tennessee Southern is approved by the Tennessee State Approving Agency for the training of veterans and their eligible dependents. The veteran seeking admission to the University should notify the Director of Financial Aid concerning eligibility under the various chapters of the G.I. Bill. All applicants for benefits are subject to Veterans’ Administration approval.

Veterans’ Benefits are also available to all qualifying students at the University of Tennessee Southern. Please request a Certificate of Eligibility from www.benefits.va.gov and submit to the Financial Aid office. Veteran benefit recipients will not be penalized for any delayed disbursement from the VA. There will be no late fee applied or access denied to any classes or facilities on campus due to delayed VA benefit payments. A VA benefit recipient, whether a veteran or a dependent of a veteran, must complete a Request to Certify VA Benefits form at the beginning of each semester in order for the benefits to be requested.
