Veteran Education Benefits and Assistance
Mayville State University is committed to understanding the unique challenges our military-affiliated students face and strives toward facilitating a smooth transition by providing you with the education and support you deserve. Veterans may be eligible for assistance through the different federal or state programs. Information about available education benefits for veterans, service members, and their qualified family members may be found by www.va.gov/education.
The Veteran Certifying Official is located in the Academic Advising Center (Old Main 101). The role of the VA Certifying Official is to assist current and new students with the application and certifying process for VA Benefits. As you begin your educational journey, please keep in mind that the VA Certifying Official is unable to make VA benefit selections for you. Students are encouraged to visit the VA Benefits website www.va.gov and visit their local installation education office before meeting with school officials in order to have a general understanding of the VA process. Mayville State's VA Certifying Official will, however, direct students to proper VA application procedures, certify enrollments, communicate changes in university policy, or procedures in which may impact enrollment and answer all VA questions to the best of his ability.
Mayville State University permits any individual covered by Veterans Education Benefits to attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which the individual provides to the institution a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to educational assistance under chapter 31 or 33 (a “certificate of eligibility” can also include a “Statement of Benefits” obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) website – eBenefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for chapter 31 authorization purposes).
At Mayville State, we are committed to assisting eligible students in their pursuit of their educational goals. Numerous programs at Mayville State have been approved for certification for the various Veterans Administration Educational Benefit programs.
