If you have served our country in the Active Duty Military, the Reserves or the National Guard you may be eligible for education benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill. Under certain circumstances, spouses and children of veterans may also be eligible for education benefits.
If you have at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or were discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days, you may be eligilbe for the new Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI educational bill, which for qualifying veterans will cover the cost of tuition and fees while receiving housing and book allowance.
Pitt-Bradford is also participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program through which eligible veterans, Chapter 33 (100%) out of state residents, will have all tuition and fees paid.
And for the second year in a row, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has been named a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine. The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s veterans as students.
One of our veterans representatives is available to help you file all documentation related to the Montgomery GI Bill. You can contact Bob Dilks Jr., director of transfer and nontraditional student recruitment at dilks@pitt.edu (814-362-7693) or Melissa Ibanez, director of the financial aid office at ibanez@pitt.edu (814-362-7550). Please also see our Support Page for links to information and services for our veterans.
Please note that the Veterans Administration may require extra time to process new applications for education benefits. It is very important to begin the application process well in advance of the term in which you are planning to enroll.
