Application Fee Waiver for Veterans

As a way of publicly recognizing and thanking our service members, we are waiving the admission application fee for in-state and out-of-state service members to include those currently serving and those that have been honorably discharged on or after July 1, 1985. Character of discharge will be verified on your DD214 long form upon filing the application.

Veterans Benefits

Veterans and their eligible dependents may apply for educational benefits before the start of each semester. Returning veteran students must reapply for benefits each semester.

You may apply for VA Educational Benefits at http://www.gibill.va.gov or request an application for Education Benefits form from the VA representative. We recommend that you apply for benefits online for faster service. When you receive the “Certificate of Eligibility” letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs, please submit the letter to the VA representative to finalize your paperwork for VA Benefits. You also need to submit a copy of your DD 214 (if discharged from service).

Veterans receiving VA benefits under the Montgomery GI Bills (Chapters 30, 1606, and 1607) must call 1-877-823-2378 once a month for verification of attendance or online at: https://www.gibill.va.gov/wave/index.do

Veterans Receiving benefits under the Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) and Dependents using Chapter 35 do not have to verify their attendance each month with the VA, but must inform the UNH/UNHM Veterans Coordinator of any changes to their enrollment status.
