Applying for Veterans Benefits

 

 

Prior to enrolling at Harvard University, please verify that your program is approved for use with VA benefits by visiting WEAMS:

 

  1. Enter Harvard University as the institution and hit enter.
  2. Click Harvard University.
  3. From the “Programs” tab on the next page, click on “Institution of Higher Learning.” All currently approved programs for use with VA educational benefits are listed here.
  4. If your program is not listed, please email studentaccountoperations_fad@harvard.edu to inquire about your program of study and to determine if we can submit it for approval to the Massachusetts State Approving Agency. If your program of study is not currently approved, you should plan to attend Harvard University without using your VA educational benefits.

If you are an eligible student and your program is approved for use with VA educational benefits, you should submit a benefits application through the VA. The VA will provide you with a Certificate of Eligibility or a Statement of Benefits.

 

You can direct questions about benefits eligibility and coverage to the VA Educational Benefits line at 1-888-442-4551.

 

Each academic year, you'll need to complete the Harvard University Veterans Notice of Student Enrollment and inform your financial aid office that you intend to utilize your benefits.

 

Students with multiple forms of tuition assistance should be aware that the VA will pay the amount remaining each term after all scholarships and sponsorships specific to tuition and required fees are considered.

 

Who can I ask if I have more questions about VA education benefits at Harvard?

 

Your Financial Aid Office will serve as your primary contact for VA education benefits. If you have specific questions about a program, most of that information can be found on the school or department’s website, with links to contacts. If you have questions about alternate financial aid options, prospective students can contact the school’s Financial Aid Office:
