§ Veteran's benefits information
The University Registrar is the campus liaison with the Veterans'
Administration and the Designated Officer for signing official VA forms
related to eligibility and certification of enrollment for benefits. Our
forms are sent to the regional office in
Buffalo NY. The
address for sending all forms is
Veterans Administration
Regional Processing Office
Education Hard Copy
P.O.Box 21
Buffalo NY 24240-0021
When you have a question, first call 1.800.827.1000
which will get you the closest VA office (from Lexington, this rings into
the Roanoke office).
Representatives there have access to the VA database and can answer
questions about your individual benefits, certifications, and checks. You
may also try the VA's WAVE
web site for answers.
If you can't get an answer from the VA, please call or e-mail Scott
Dittman, University Registrar, and describe the problem.
By federal law, the contents of the file kept about your benefits
during your W&L enrollment is kept permanently with your academic
record.
W&L is
proud to participate in
the
Yellow Ribbon Program of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Students
interested in receiving benefits under this program should contact
the university's Office of Financial Aid at
financialaid@wlu.edu
or 540.458.8715. Students will be considered for W&L's Yellow Ribbon
support in the following order for the 2009-10 academic year:
- Current students with Yellow
Ribbon benefits who return for the new academic year.
- Former students with Yellow
Ribbon benefits who are reinstated for the new academic year.
- New students considered in the
order of the date their tuition deposit is received by W&L.
- New or returning students
considered in the order of the date their written intent to seek
Yellow Ribbon funds is received by the Office of Financial Aid.
- Any student considered in the
order of the date of the Veterans Administration Certificate of
Eligibility for Chapter 33 benefits.
