91¹ú²ú¾«Æ·

91¹ú²ú¾«Æ· was voted one of the best colleges in America for veterans by both the Military Times and the Victory Press. Currently, the university certifies over 400 veterans whom are using VA benefits, while another 200 are using the National Guard Scholarship or other personal programs. While the office, 216-875-9996, will help you with your transition from military to college and other needs, the financial aid office will help you with the certification process to ensure that you get the benefits that you deserve.

To receive assistance with determining which benefits you may be eligible for or which to utilize, please refer to either  ,  (1-888-GIBILL1); or you may contact our VA campus counselor George Ackerman at 216-875-9942 / George.ackerman@va.gov.

After you know which chapter (30, 31, 33, 35, or 1606) is best for you, please follow these steps to ensure that your benefits are being processed properly. This procedure is the same whether you are a new benefit user or a transfer student that has used benefits at another institute. **Never assume that just because you have used your benefits elsewhere, that the 91¹ú²ú¾«Æ· certifying representatives know that you are using them at 91¹ú²ú¾«Æ·, ensure your own success and follow the below instructions.
