Hey there! I'm a veteran considering applying to BYU. Does anyone know if they have good support for veterans and the use of VA benefits?
Hello! First, thank you for your service. Brigham Young University (BYU) does indeed offer support for veterans and accepts VA benefits for tuition and other expenses related to education. The Veterans Services Office at BYU is dedicated to assisting veterans, active-duty service members, and their family members with obtaining educational benefits.
To make the process easier and more efficient, they offer counseling on the various VA education programs, assist with the application process for these benefits, and certify enrollment to the VA to ensure timely disbursement of benefits. They also provide academic and career counseling services for student veterans.
At BYU, they have a Veterans Club which connects veterans with each other, hosts social and service events, and provides information about resources available to student veterans on and off campus. Additionally, the Student Veterans Association of BYU seeks to improve the educational experience for student veterans by promoting camaraderie, encouraging academic success, and advocating on behalf of their unique wants and needs. This helps create a more supportive environment for veterans and contributes to a smooth transition into campus life.
Overall, BYU has a strong commitment to supporting veterans and their educational goals. Make sure to check with the Veterans Services Office at BYU directly to confirm the specific benefits available to you and to learn more about available resources. Good luck with your application!
