Veterans Benefits

Hawai‘i Pacific University’s educational programs are approved for Department of Veterans Affairs education benefits. Eligible, degree-seeking students may receive financial assistance as provided by the GI Bill®. Students using GI Bill benefits must meet with the university’s VA Coordinator prior to their first semester to receive an orientation and sample term-by-term degree plan with a cost estimate. Only courses that satisfy requirements outlined by the academic degree plan can be certified for VA purposes.  Veteran students planning to register for courses during the summer sessions should develop a plan with their academic advisor prior to their first semester. Students must meet satisfactory progress standards in order to continue receiving assistance. For information pertaining to Post 9/11 GI Bill (including Yellow Ribbon) and other educational programs, go to www.gibill.va.gov or apply online for VA benefits at www.gibill.va.gov/apply-for-benefits/application/.
