Veterans are treated as independent for financial aid purposes, with the result being that they are often eligible for more grant aid. Veteran's counselors are on staff in the Office of Financial Aid to answer questions about your benefits as a veteran. You may also want to consult www.gibill.va.gov for an overview of veteran's educational benefits.
