Certification of Veterans Education Benefits
Each semester Veterans Services must be notified of a student’s intention to utilize Veterans Education Benefits. Failure to do so could result in delayed Veterans Education Benefit(s) payment(s), dropped course(s), or tuition and fees debt with Del Mar College. Each of the Veterans Education Benefits below provides the following:
- CH.1606 Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR)* – Pays a monthly stipend for school attendance.
- CH.30 Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD)* – Pays a monthly stipend for school attendance.
- CH.31 Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) – Pays a monthly stipend for school attendance, tuition and fees, and books/supplies.
- CH.33 Post 9/11 (“Forever”) GI Bill** – Pays a monthly stipend for school attendance, tuition and fees, and books/supplies based on the student’s percentage of eligibility (50% - 100%).
- CH.35 Survivors’ and Dependents’ Education Assistance (DEA)* – Pays a monthly stipend for school attendance.
- Hazlewood Act Exemption – Exempts tuition and most but not all fees.
Some VA Education Benefits can be stacked with the Hazlewood Act Exemption to cover tuition and fees costs.
Students are responsible for paying late and other non-mandatory fees such as 3-peat fees.
*Students must pay tuition and fees or set up a payment plan with the Business Office prior to the payment deadline date(s) for the semester. Failure to do so will result in dropped courses due to non-payment.*
