How Do I Apply?
Step 1. Apply online.
Step 2. After you apply online, the DVA will send you a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) in the mail. Take the CoE to the DVA representative/School Certifying Official (SCO) at the educational institution you are attending, or your place of employment and submit it to the DVA Regional Processing Office (RPO) for processing.
Step 3. Verify your attendance. Students receiving GI Bill benefits must verify their enrollment EVERY MONTH. See the Verify Your Enrollment drop-down for more information.
Note: Non-Prior Service applicants enlisting under the OCS and ROTC enlistment option will not be entitled to receive the benefit until the day after the completion of BOLC. Officers/Officer Candidates should contact their Officer Strength Manager or Education Services Officer to verify their eligibility.
