Military-connected education benefit info sessions

Each summer, NAU’s Veteran and Military Services hosts virtual education benefit info sessions designed to help you utilize and maximize your benefits, including GI Bill®, DOD Tuition Assistance, and/or Veteran Readiness & Employment.

If you are an admitted NAU military-connected student and were unable to attend the VMS education benefit info sessions or are visiting this site after the session has occurred, email vets@nau.edu with your name and student ID number to ensure you are provided this crucial information.

Please note: To ensure timely payment processing of your VA benefits, it is important to complete all required steps 4 to 6 weeks before the term begins, if possible.
