Veterans' Benefits

 

Framingham State College is approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for veterans' benefits, and for the education of veterans, war orphans, and the dependents of 100% disabled veterans. Eligible veterans other than Chapter 34 have 10 years from the date of separation from active duty to use their educational benefits. Chapter 34 veteran (old G.I.) benefits expired January 1, 1990. When filing for benefits, eligible veterans should submit a copy of their separation from service (DD214).

The College seeks to provide assistance in obtaining benefits, financial aid and other services for full and part-time students. Filing the benefits and certification of enrollment must be done through the Office of the Registrar, Dwight 220 (Day Division) or the Office of Continuing Education, College Center Room 515 (Graduate and Continuing Education Division). Both offices also provide information regarding VA requirements. 

 

Notarized copies of form DD2384 are acceptable for submission to the V.A. All other copies, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc. must be notarized originals.

 

Framingham State College offers Categorical Tuition Waivers for Massachusetts residents so defined as "veterans" according to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 4, s.7, and includes the following categories:

Specific definitions of "veteran" in each category can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Those who are eligible must complete and submit a Certificate of Tuition Waiver Form, along with a copy of their separation from service (DD214) and proof of Massachusetts residency, prior to the billing deadline. Certificates must be submitted prior to billing each semester. Veterans whose certificates are not on file prior to receiving bills must pay tuition. A refund will be processed upon receipt and approval of the certificate.
