Financial Aid - Veterans' Benefits

Students who are veterans of military services may be eligible for Veterans’ Benefits. Application for benefits should be submitted to the regional Veterans’ Affairs Office at least 30 days in advance of the start of the academic term. Other educational benefits are extended to orphans of veterans and for the vocational rehabilitation of veterans. Once enrolled, recipients must request that the Financial Aid Office verify their enrollment with the Department of Veterans Affairs before benefits will begin.

Veterans attending MSU – Great Falls College of Technology must maintain a 2.0 Cumulative GPA. If the student falls below a 2.0 CGPA, s/he will have one semester to raise his GPA to a 2.0. If the student is unable to do this, s/he will be placed on suspension and will have to sit out a term before s/he is able to return. Appeals may be granted for extenuating circumstances.
