Hawaii Pacific University welcomes our
veterans with military-friendly classes, convenient course scheduling, and
support services to help you reach your educational goals. To use your GI Bill
at HPU, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Applying for Benefits
To apply for benefits, please call the
Department of Veteran Affairs at 1-888-GI-BILL-1, or visit http://www.gibill.va.gov
Step 2: Certificate of Eligibility
VA-approved students receive a letter, “Certificate
of Eligibility (COE)”, from the VA once their veteran benefits application
has been processed. Simply forward a copy of your COE to our VA office at HPU
(contact information below) or drop it off at our Pearl Harbor office.
**We understand that the COE may take a few weeks to arrive, so a copy of your VONAPP (application for veteran benefits) may be used in the interim. Although, the COE must be submitted ASAP**
Step 3: Register for Courses
A Veteran Enrollment Certification form must
be completed and submitted for every term you register for courses, if you plan
on utilizing VA benefits.
