Veteran's Benefits
Using Your Veteran Benefits at 91自拍
91自拍 is committed to supporting students using veteran benefits on the Block Plan. If you have questions about using your Veteran benefits, please contact Ashley Belton, 91自拍’s School Certifying Official (SCO).
The SCO’s role is to verify your enrollment at 91自拍 with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) so you can receive your eligible educational benefits and tuition assistance.
For additional support with financial planning, budgeting, or understanding how your benefits fit into your overall financial aid package, contact Libby Fletcher, Associate Director of Financial Aid Operations.
Keeping Your SCO Updated
As a VA education benefits recipient, you are responsible for notifying the SCO if any changes occur that may affect your benefits or VA reimbursement, including:
- Increasing or decreasing your registered credit hours
- Withdrawing from a course
- Withdrawing from 91自拍
- Changing your address
- Receiving a non-passing grade (Y, NC, or WF) or an incomplete grade (I)
- Participating in a study abroad program that is not led by 91自拍
Reporting these changes promptly helps ensure your enrollment information remains accurate and helps prevent delays or adjustments to your benefits.
Additional Resources
Many questions about your individual VA education benefits can be answered through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website:
For questions specific to your enrollment at 91自拍, please reach out to the School Certifying Official.
What is a "CAP"? The VA Benefits CAP is the maximum amount the VA will pay toward tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students using the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) at a private institution during an academic year.
The VA benefits cap for the 2026-27 academic year for private colleges is $30,908.34 per year.
The VA benefits cap for the 2025-26 academic year for private colleges was $29,920.95 per year.
If you are an admitted 91自拍 student and eligible to receive VA education benefits, you must submit the following documents to the School Certifying Official (SCO) before the start of each semester:
- Certificate of Eligibility (COE): Request your COE directly through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This document confirms your eligibility for VA education benefits.
- Application for Veteran Education Benefits & Statement of Understanding: Complete 91自拍's internal Adobe Sign application.
Submitting these documents before the term begins helps ensure your enrollment can be certified with the VA and helps avoid delays in processing your benefits.
Please note: Applications received after the term has started will be processed for the following term.
Thank you for submitting your VA education benefits paperwork! Once the School Certifying Official (SCO) receives your Certificate of Eligibility (COE), Application for Veteran Education Benefits, and Statement of Understanding, your student record will be created in the VA’s online certification system, Enrollment Manager.
Enrollment Manager is a secure, web-based platform, hosted by the VA for SCOs to submit and manage student enrollment certifications to the VA.
When will my enrollment be certified?
Your upcoming semester enrollment will be submitted to the VA within a 25-day window before the start of your first block of the semester. Additional certifications (or re-certifications) are submitted after each block’s drop period.
Enrollment certifications are typically submitted during the month before each semester:
- Fall semester: August
- Spring semester: January
- Summer semester: June (Summer enrollment is optional and must be requested)
Verify Your Enrollment with the VA
The VA requires education benefit recipients to verify their enrollment on a monthly basis. This requirement began in 2021 for Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) recipients and has since expanded to additional education benefit programs.
Verification is a shared responsibility between you (student) and 91自拍. Be sure to complete your monthly enrollment verification with the VA to help prevent interruptions in your benefits.
