Veterans Benefits
Welcome to Veterans Services for Crescent School.
We've developed our website in an effort to help you navigate the process required to use your education benefit.
Crescent School is committed to giving back to those who serve our country and the family members who support those service members. Our Admissions staff is eager to assist with explaining your VA Education Benefits and entitlements, and guiding you through the enrollment verification process.
Crescent School is an approved institution for the education and training of veterans, reservists and the children and spouses of deceased or 100% “total and permanently” (with no further exams pending) disabled veterans. Our Admissions Representatives help those who are eligible to obtain Veterans Educational Benefits. We will help direct you through the application process, and work as an instructional and advisory aid between the Department of Veterans Affairs and you as a Crescent student.
Students who wish to use veterans’ educational benefits should identify themselves to our Admissions staff as soon as possible so that proper enrollment certification procedures can be initiated for your program.
If you don’t know what Chapter you are claiming, please contact the Department of Veterans Affairs (1-888-442-4551).
Steps to using your VA Education Benefits
1. If you are eligible for VA education benefits, you will need to complete and submit an application (VA form 22-1990) to the regional Veterans Administration Office. Begin the application process on the GI Bill ® Website.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
2. After submitting the application, you will receive written notification explaining the VA’s decision regarding your eligibility for the benefit program you applied for. If you are eligible, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) that specifies your eligible program, benefit rate, and length of eligibility.
Important: Once you receive your COE and are deemed eligible, you will need to submit a copy of your COE to your Admission Representative at the Crescent campus of your choice.
3. Once you are enrolled at Crescent, a VA Certification Application must be completed and turned in for certification (depending on the applicable Chapter) the recipients wish to use their VA education benefits. Benefits will not pay unless this form is completed each semester.

- Vocational Rehabilitation – Chapter 31
