Your VA educational benefits are used to help meet your need for financial aid (except in determining Chapter 30 eligibility for Subsidized Stafford Loan). Your need is determined by this simple formula:

Cost of Attendance – Expected Family Contribution(EFC) – Veteran's Educational Benefits = Your Need for Financial Aid

Make sure you remember these key points:

• It's absolutely free to apply for financial aid.
• You do not have to accept all of the aid that you are offered.
• You can receive grant money and your educational benefits simultaneously.
• You must apply for financial aid every year to continue receiving it.
• Specific questions can be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
