Veterans Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs Education Service offers many benefit programs, including the Montgomery G.I. Bill, Tuition Assistance "Top Up," Veterans Educational Assistance Program, Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program and numerous other benefit programs.

The CGPS Veterans Affairs Liaison certifies enrollment for all VA chapters except the Disability and Rehabilitation Programs, which are managed by UMW's Office of Student Accounts. That office may be contacted at 540/654-1250 or umwbills@umw.edu.

If a veteran has been accepted into a CGPS program, or if the veteran is a "visiting" student from another college, the veteran should contact the CGPS Veterans Affairs Liaison, Danielle Davis at 540/286-8075, for an appointment.

A veteran who is on active duty and is seeking information about the benefits available should contact the Educational Office on his/her base or may call toll-free 1-888-442-4551.

Additional Information is available on the Web site of the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Roanoke (this is the student's VA Office while attending UMW).
