VA SCHOOL CERTIFYING OFFICIALS FOR CSUSB
Service members, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and dependents may be eligible for various educational benefits. The Veteran Success Center (VSC) will help guide you through the available benefits and various applications and explain the benefits you may be eligible to receive. Depending on what program you are eligible for, benefits can cover some or all of the tuition costs, assist with living expenses and more. Using military educational benefits does not automatically prevent a student from receiving financial aid, and it is strongly recommended that everyone fills out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). More information for veterans, active duty service members and their families who plan on attending the California State University system, please visit their Troops to College website.
For information on the timeline for financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid webpage for important dates and times at https://www.csusb.edu/financial-aid/important-dates-and-times.
All VA education benefits are processed through the Veterans Success Center, the Certifying Official for Veterans Education Benefits. They provide guidance on starting your VA Educational Benefits and/or completing academic roadmaps for Vocational Readiness Program. They can also assist with special registration procedures required for student veterans. Each semester it is recommended that students receiving VA benefits contact the school certifying official by completing the Online Veterans Module Via MyCoyote. For assistance on this process please contact the Veterans Success Center.
