Veteran's Services

A Veterans Coordinator is available to assist veterans, their dependents, and military service persons with procedures on enrolling at Montana State University–Northern and applying for educational benefits under all GI Bills. The Veteran’s Coordinator will act as an intermediary between veterans and the Veterans Administration Office to assist with educational benefits. For more information on Veterans Benefits, contact the Financial Aid Office. Current information on benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov.

Benefit Services
All veterans and eligible persons receiving educational benefits under federal guidelines are required by law to report promptly to the Veterans Coordinator any changes that may affect the amount of money being received. These include dropping courses, withdrawing from school, not attending classes, changes in marital status, and added dependents.

To be considered as full time, undergraduate students must carry 12 credits or the equivalent and graduate students must carry 9 graduate credits or the equivalent during Fall and Spring Semesters. The criteria for Summer Semester differs and veterans should contact the Veterans Coordinator.

The Veterans Administration expects veterans to make satisfactory progress, regularly attend classes, and pursue a final objective. The Veterans Coordinator may notify the Veterans Administration if the veteran does not comply.
