Welcome to the Military Benefits Information Page of Geneva College. It is our goal to serve you, the veteran, just as you have served us through your commitment to our country. 

If you are a new student entering Geneva College, please be sure to apply for your benefits through the VA before beginning a program: https://gibill.va.gov. Also, every student planning on receiving military benefits must fill out the Military Enrollment Certification request form (listed on our Forms page).

(Please note that VA Benefits are not currently available for the following majors: B.S. in Business Aviation, B.S. in Cybersecurity, and B.S. in Actuarial Mathematics). Students requesting an Independent Major need to make an appointment with the Certifying Offical in advance to request program approval for VA Benefits.)
