Do you have questions about your Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) debts?

Join us on April 22 @ 1 p.m. ET for Financial Planning for Student Veterans, a free live webinar designed to help you get answers to common questions about managing VA debt effectively and efficiently.

Register here: https://www.benefits.va.gov/GIBILL/digital-engagement/employmentwebinars.asp

Experts from VA Debt Management Center will present and you’ll have the chance to ask questions during the live Q&A session.

Friendly reminder for everyone using Tuition Assistance: Your GPA matters! 📈

To keep using your benefits without interruption, you need to maintain:
🎓 A 2.0 GPA (C or better) for all undergraduate courses.
🧠 A 3.0 GPA (B or better) for all graduate courses.

Falling below these grades can lead to having to pay the money back (recoupment).

Also, remember the new policy: two recoupments in one fiscal year will result in a 12-month suspension from requesting both FTA and CA. Keep up the great work and finish strong!

Graduation season is right around the corner and if you are enrolling in any form of secondary school (community college, universities), the Alabama G.I. Dependent Scholarship Program is here to help cover tuition, books, and instructional fees for dependents of eligible veterans.
