VA Benefits Workshop set for Nov. 8, 2010

Monday, Nov. 8, 10 a.m. University Center, Room 145

The UAA Office of Student Financial Assistance will be hosting an informative VA Education Benefits Workshop on Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. in Room 145 of the University Center. All students using VA education benefits, academic advisers and other UAA support staff that work with UAA's student veterans are encouraged to attend.

The workshop will highlight the benefits of the new Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) and will answer many frequently asked questions. We will explain UAA's role in assisting veterans and their dependants in receiving VA educational benefits and educate student veterans on ways they can maximize their benefits. This will also be an opportunity to meet UAA's new veterans coordinator and find out what new changes are coming up for next semester. This workshop is open to the public.

Following the meeting, assistance will be available for students to ask questions regarding their individual accounts.
