Veterans' Education Benefits at KGI

Students who have been or are currently serving in the military may be eligible for VA Educational Benefits. Some benefits are also available to spouses or dependents of veterans. For information on selecting the right benefits for you, please visit the VA's Road Map for Success. Below is a step by step guide to using your benefits.

1. Apply for Benefits. Once admitted to KGI, you will need to complete your application for VA Benefits. Your VA Benefits Application can take up to 8 weeks to be processed so it is recommended to begin this process as early as possible. If you prefer to submit a paper application please submit it to the KGI Certifying Official.   
2. Contact KGI's Certifying Official. Once you have received your Certificate of Eligibility you will need to turn in a copy of the following documents:
   • Certificate of Eligibility
   • DD-214
   • Class Schedule 
     
3. Keep Us Updated. Please notify KGI's Certifying Official of any changes to your benefits, course schedule, and address. Failure to notify the KGI Certifying Official could result in payment delay/benefits ceasing.
