Veterans Education Benefits

Willamette University welcomes students with VA benefits and provides generous institutional funding for each degree program. Most programs provide up to $11,000 in institutional funding, along with merit scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Students must apply prior to May 1 each year to receive the benefits. 

The Willamette University Registrar's Office is your point of contact for information about how to utilize VA benefits for your degree program. For more information please email registrar@willamette.edu or call 503-370-6206. 

It is best to start the process by contacting the Department of Veterans Affairs to find out for what benefits you are eligible, and begin the process of applying for them. You can contact the VA directly at 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551).

When applying for admission to your program at Willamette, please indicate that you are eligible for VA benefits and provide relevant detailed information. Once admitted, we will follow up with you to help you best utilize your funding.
