Eligibility for education benefits via the Department of Veterans Affairs may provide financial support during your collegiate experience. The Post-9/11 GI Bill® could, potentially, cover educational and housing expenses for individuals with an Honorable Discharge, at least 90 days service post-September 10, 2001 or those discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days.

If you are the spouse/child of a service member, serving on Title 10 orders, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the Department of Defense, for educational expenses.

If you are the spouse/child of a service member, you may be eligible to transfer the service member’s benefits to you. Transfer of benefits will need to be done via the VA through the service member.

You may be eligible for educational funding through the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program. This is a benefit that will need to process through your chain of command not via The University of Tulsa.

Veteran Readiness and Employment (Ch. 31), previously Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, is a program that assists with exploration of employment options and addresses training needs for those with service-connected disabilities that limit the ability to or completely prevents you from working.

In some cases, family members may also qualify for certain benefits via this program.
