How It Works
From benefit eligibility to your first day at AUS.
Start early. Foreign study requires coordination between you, the VA and AUS, and approval applies to the specific program—not only the institution.
Confirm your eligibility
Apply for VA education benefits and obtain your Certificate of Eligibility through VA.gov.
Verify your program
Ask AUS and the VA to confirm that your intended degree program is approved for your benefits.
Apply to AUS
Submit your academic application and required documents so AUS can evaluate your admission.
Certify your enrollment
Provide your COE to the AUS School Certifying Official, who will submit the required enrollment certification.
Important: AUS does not determine your GI Bill eligibility or payment amount. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs makes those decisions. Confirm your individual entitlement, the approval status of your chosen program and current benefit rates before making financial commitments. Read the VA foreign-school guidance.
Dual-Degree Options

The dual-degree pathway is available in participating AUS and Tiffin University programs. Your chosen program must also be approved for VA benefits.
