How to apply for Veteran's Benefits
There are several steps that must be completed before you
can receive veteran's benefits.
Step 1: Complete the Application for VA Education
Benefits (form 22-1990) or the Application for Survivors'
and Dependents' Educational Assistance (form 22-5490). If
you are transferring from another school at which you
received VA benefits, you will need to complete a Request
for Change of Program or Place of Training (form 22-1995).
Step 2: This form must be submitted to:
Veteran's Administration
P.O. Box 8888
Muskogee, OK 74402-8888
At Schreiner University, we prefer that you file the form
on-line. It will take approximately 60 days for the
application to be processed.
Step 3: The Office of Financial Aid at Schreiner
University certifies your enrollment status. The
certification progress requires that we have on file a
degree plan for every student receiving veteran's
educational benefits. You must meet with your advisor as
soon as possible after beginning attendance at Schreiner but
no later than the end of the first semester to complete
your degree plan. The VA will only allow us to certify
courses that are listed on your degree plan and we cannot
certify retakes of classes.
Please note: If you change your degree plan, you will need
to complete a Request for Change of Program or Place of
Training (form 22-1995).
Step 4: Once enrollment certification has been
completed and classes have begun, you may receive a notice
from the VA and will need to begin monthly certifications.
These certifications can be done via the web or by phone.
Step 5: Notify the Office of Financial Aid whenever
you add or drop a class, or withdraw from the university. We are required to notify the VA
within 30 days of any changes in enrollment.
