VA Education and Training Benefits

If you have not processed VA benefits at Illinois Tech before, please complete the following steps:

  1. Apply for VA benefits with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (if you have already not done so) and obtain your certificate of eligibility. For more information on how to apply, please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website.

  2. Send a digital copy of your certificate of eligibility via email to Christopher Lee at clee106@iit.edu.

  3. Register for PBA courses via the Application and PBA Course Registration Form. This is important to avoid tuition charges at registration time.

  4. Certifying VA benefits can take up to three weeks after the start of the term.

  5. You are still responsible for the tuition if the VA benefit certification does not go through for any reason.
