A special provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill®  program allows career Service members the opportunity to share their education benefits with immediate family members. The Department of Defense determines whether or not you can transfer benefits to your family members. Please go to links under Step 2 to learn more.

Step 3:  Once you have registered for classes, submit a request for Enrollment Certification.

Each semester you are enrolled and want to use your benefits, you must submit a request for Enrollment Certification, at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester. You will receive an email from VA-Once when your enrollment has been certified by the college.

Step 4: Payment of Tuition and Fees

Full payment of outstanding charges is due to the college the day before the semester begins.

  • Chapter 35 – DEA:  Payment of your benefits are made directly to you. You are responsible for all tuition and fee charges not covered by other financial aid prior to school starting.
  • Post 9/11 GI Benefits: Payment of your VA tuition and fees benefits are made directly to Savannah Technical College. You are responsible for all tuition and fee charges not covered by your VA education benefits or other financial aid prior to school starting.

Make sure your contact information is up to date with the Savannah Technical College Office of Admissions.
