Military and Veterans

You serve your country. We serve you.

If you're a veteran or an active military service member, you already know that education is one of the greatest benefits of serving in the armed forces. At Independence University, we respect your service, and we make every effort to offer you the convenient degree programs that can help you reach your career goals for the twenty-first century.

For years, we've educated service members, and we'd like to offer you the same opportunities. We can help you decide which military benefits are right for you, from the GI Bill to Legacy Grants, Matching Funds, DANTES, ACE, and more. We can also help veterans who qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation and Active Duty Tuition Assistance.

For more information and assistance with these benefits, review the information below or

Be prepared for the careers of tomorrow

Your military experience counts. Not only will your military service reward you with educational assistance, but your training in the armed forces may also allow you to take college-level equivalency exams that may help you test out of taking classes in subjects you already know-saving you valuable time and money toward earning your degree.

Let us help you with military tuition assistance. Call us at 1-800-972-5149 or click here to request more information.

VA Education Benefits

If you are a veteran and would like to use your education benefits to fund your education with Independence University, simply contact the military education specialist at the college and you'll be on your way.

Using your VA education benefits with us is simple; just submit your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD-214) to your college military specialist. If you have already applied to use your benefits, you may also submit your Certificate of Eligibility (form 22-0557). Your college military specialist will help you fill out all of the necessary applications and forms to get started. For more information about how to use your GI Bill education benefits, call an enrollment advisor today at 1-800-972-5149.

If you are a VA student, you will first need to pay for the entire program out of pocket, or apply for financial aid. Once you complete your course in the allotted time, you can collect full-time pay reimbursement from the VA. Courses are certified monthly, and the amount of your reimbursement from the VA is based on the time it takes to complete your course or training. The VA will pay you directly once your certification is submitted and processed.

For more information on the GI Bill/VA benefits, call the VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) or visit their website at www.gibill.va.gov. This page also provides information about eligibility requirements for the different benefits available, including MGIB, Top Up, DEA, NCA, and more*.

*Chapter 1607 benefits: At this time, there is little information available on how Chapter 1607 benefits will work. Those who are now eligible and/or participating in chapter 1606 should visit the GI Bill website regularly at www.gibill.va.gov for updates and information on this new program.
