Veterans' Benefits
Educational Benefits for our Veterans
The Office of the University Registrar serves as the liaison between the University, its students, and the various federal, state, and local agencies concerned with veterans' benefits. Stanford certifies enrollment for matriculated students in degree seeking programs and students in one of 24 certificate programs offered through the Stanford Center for Professional Development.
The VA defines “matriculated” as having been formally admitted to a college or university as a degree-seeking student. Per the VA, educational benefits cannot be paid to “non-matriculated” college or university students unless they are pending admission to your school. In that case the student can be certified for two terms. The student can be certified beyond this two-term limit only if the student is admitted to Stanford as a degree-seeking student, irrespective of the number of credits taken.
All students eligible to receive veterans' benefits while attending the University are urged to complete arrangements with the appropriate agency in advance of enrollment.
