Financing Your Education

Post 9/11 GI Bill®

The education benefits provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and Saint Joseph’s University allow veterans and their families with at least 36 months of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2011, and those discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, to attend SJU full or part-time with the cost of tuition covered. Individuals who have served 90 days to 36 months of aggregate service are eligible for a percentage of their tuition to be covered. Students are encouraged to verify eligibility of benefits with the VA and visit www.gibill.va.gov.

Once accepted to Saint Joseph’s University, eligible veterans will need to provide a certificate of eligibility to Saint Joseph’s Financial Aid Office. Students will need to apply for benefits at the beginning of each session they are registered for courses.

Post 9/11 GI Billl®  benefits are available for 15 years after the veteran’s last day of active duty. Veterans may be able to transfer the tuition benefits to their children or family member.

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
