Latest Announcements
1/29/25 The recent Executive Order to temporarily pause grant, loan, or federal financial assistance programs WILL NOT affect GI Bill or other VA Benefits, according to the VA and a clarification letter released by the White House.

ECR: Enrollment Certification Request form
Veterans and dependents receiving VA Educational Assistance must complete a WSU Enrollment Certification Request prior to each semester or term that they wish to use their VA benefit. This form requires the student's academic advisor's approval, so plan ahead! Failure to submit this form will delay receipt of your monthly GI Bill payments.
Students awaiting VA Payments
In accordance with 38 USC 3679(e), the school will not delay or deny access on the basis of a pending payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for any Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 student. What does this mean? Student may continue to attend and register while the institution awaits payment from DVA. Students will have full access to all resources and facilities. Late penalties are either blocked or removed upon payment from the VA or guarantees being posted to student accounts.
Chapter 33 Processing
The VA Education Hotline may inform students of a release date to the school for tuition. This is the anticipated release date and may not reflect the actual release time to the treasury.
Disclaimer: The WSU VA Office provides information about benefits and services available to WSU students who are Veterans or dependents of Veterans. Although we make an effort to discuss and/or provide information about all available benefits and services for which a particular student may be eligible, we cannot promise that all students will be informed of all benefits and services for which they may be eligible. Students are responsible for asking questions and seeking information, whether from WSU or from another state or federal agency or entity, regarding available benefits or services.
