• If you have completed and turned in a VA class schedule, your classes will be held while payment is pending from the VA. VA Class Schedule forms may be printed from the financial aid website,

• Veterans are special to UNCW. Additional UNCW information targeted to veterans, active duty military, and dependents can be found here. This page is a part of special services developed to make non-traditional students welcome. Please note that the student veteran’s organization contact information is provided at the bottom of the page.

• You may be eligible for Federal Veterans Education Benefits if you served in the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty, or if you are the dependent of a veteran whose death was service- related, or if you are the dependent of a veteran whose 100% disability is service related.

• Military Tuition Assistance for Soldiers and Marines.
  

  The Army and Marine Corps have decided to suspend Military Tuition Assistance for Soldiers and Marines. Air Force and Navy are considering the same action but have not implemented changes at this time. If you are already registered for courses for the current semester and have your Tuition Assistance approved, you will be unaffected by this change. As you move forward with your education please know there are other options available to you to help you pay for your costs.
  
  These options include:
  * You may be able to use your VA Benefits, including the Post 9/11 program, to help pay for your tuition and fees.
  To apply for benefits, visit www.gibill.va.gov to complete an online application. If you have any questions regarding applying for VA benefits, please contact Shannon Miles at 910.962.3177 or at miless@uncw.edu.
