Eligibility


What must I do to qualify for VUB?


To benefit from our FREE educational services you must meet a few simple eligibility requirements:


• All participants must have at least 180 days of active duty service, or if less than 180 days, must be released for medical reasons; all discharges qualify except dishonorable.


• All participants must be either low-income (based on family income and number of dependants) or potential first generation college students (neither parent earned a 4-year degree).


• All participants must demonstrate academic potential as well as have academic need. Not all students have the same needs. Some students require developmental coursework, while others need more help in cutting through the red tape associated with college enrollment.


• All participants must have the desire and willingness to learn.
If you are not sure if you qualify give us a call at (316) 978-6742, we would be glad to explain the eligibility requirements in further detail.


When to apply?


As soon as possible!!! The main goal of this program is to prepare veterans for beginning, or returning to, post-secondary education. The ideal time to begin the program is at least one semester before you want to start your college/vocational-technical classes.
