If a student has VA Benefits that they will use while attending Harvard College, what does that process look like?

The Griffin Financial Aid Office works in conjunction with Harvard University Student Financial Services (SFS) to complete the certification process for any student who elects to use VA benefits.  An outline of the process can be found here, and there is also a helpful “VA and Military FAQs” page on the SFS website here. Once a student has obtained their Certificate of Eligibility, we would ask them to contact our office at faoinfo@fas.harvard.edu for information on next steps. 

In general, we encourage students to contact our office directly if they have specific questions about how their VA benefits might interact with financial aid.
