WELCOME
Welcome to the MSU-Bozeman Office of Veteran Services Homepage! The MSU-Bozeman Office of Veteran Services,
located in room 180 of the Strand Union Building, serves over 400 veterans, eligible dependents and members of the
Selected Reserve who receive Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) education benefits at MSU each academic year. In
addition to certifying eligible recipients for veteran education benefits, the Office of Veteran Services ensures that recipients
understand their rights and responsibilities under DVA regulations and provides information and referral services to all
veterans of the U.S. military, eligible dependents and members of the Selected Reserve.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Current Students
Registration for Spring 2010 classes has begun. Please remember to submit your class schedule for Spring 2010 to the Office of Veteran Services. If you do not submit a schedule you will not be automatically certified. This will cause a delay in your benefits.
MSU is participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program:
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution for 100% eligible Post 9/11 GI Bill veterans’.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays up to the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition and fees. You may have tuition and fees that exceed that amount if you are attending a private institution, graduate school or attending in an out-of-state status. If you are enrolled at a Yellow Ribbon participating institution and the tuition and fees exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition or fees, additional funds may be available for your education program without an additional charge to your entitlement.
