In many cases, you may receive VA education benefits while also receiving other forms of financial aid. However, the way these benefits work together varies depending on the specific VA education benefit program you are using and the type of financial assistance you receive.
Because each situation is different, receiving one type of financial aid does not automatically affect your eligibility for VA education benefits. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) determines how applicable laws and regulations affect your education benefits.
Next steps
If you have questions about how your VA education benefits may interact with other financial aid, contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for guidance about your benefits. If you have questions about your school's certification of tuition and fees, contact your school's VA certifying official.
