## Veterans' Benefits

If you are a qualifying veteran, you may be eligible for educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through one of [several VA programs](https://financialaid.stanford.edu/aid/outside/va.html). Children of veterans may also be eligible. We accept GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program benefits, and award additional need-based aid as determined by financial circumstances. All GI Bill benefits, including those awarded by the Yellow Ribbon Program, will be coordinated with the need-based aid package that is determined for you by the Financial Aid Office.

Instructions for activating VA educational benefits for enrollment at Stanford can be found at [Using the GI Bill® at Stanford](https://studentservices.stanford.edu/my-finances/manage-your-funding/va-education-benefits). For any VA education benefit inquiries, please contact the VA Certification Officer at [VABenefits@stanford.edu](mailto:vabenefits@stanford.edu). The VA Certifying Officer acts as an intermediate between the VA, Stanford University and the student to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with VA regulations.
