Can i get college paid for if i am a disabled american veteran?

Question

i was medically discharged from the army and i was given a 10% disability. and while filling out my FAFSA i saw somewhere where i could select veteran educational assistance.. can i get that??

Answer 1

It depends on a lot of things - when you were disabled, your actual disability, whether or not you have used benefits before, etc. The best way to find out is to talk with a local VA rep. The college you are wanting to go to will have one on staff, and if you have a local VA, the employees there will be able to assist you, too.

Answer 2

(1) Visit, NOT call, the school's financial aid office--you learn more face-to-face than via phone

(2) Contact the VA

Answer 3

The question on the fafsa is asking if you are actually getting (or going to get) veterans benefits while in school.  It's not the application for benefits.  You need to contact the school and set up an appointment with a vet rep to see if you qualify for the monthly benefits the fafsa is referring to.
