GI Bill

The GI Bill is a US Department of Veterans Affairs benefit available to eligible veterans and service members to support their education. The University of St Andrews is approved to process Veterans Affairs benefits for students pursuing their studies at the institution. Students must have their intended programme of study approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the University can seek approval for new programmes once a student receives an offer. Students are required to inform the University at the beginning of each academic year that funding is required, providing their VA file and Social Security numbers. As a foreign school, there is a maximum amount that the VA will provide in funding, though the exact amount is not disclosed until confirmation of payment is received. The benefit covers both undergraduate and postgraduate studies for US veterans studying full-time or part-time at St Andrews.
