Special Aid for Military Members and Veterans

SWIHA is approved by Arizona Veterans’ Education & Training Approving Agency (VETAA) to offer Veteran Educational Benefits for a majority of educational programs.
New students are those who have not used VA Benefits before at any institution of higher education.

To apply for benefits please complete the appropriate VA application and submit along with the required supporting documentation directly to VA using VONAPP at www.gibill.va.gov.

Students applying for veterans educational benefits should allow eight to ten weeks for processing before receiving benefits. The amount of benefits awarded is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs and is based on the number of clock hours for which a student is enrolled.

Required Supporting Documentation Certificate of Eligibility (COE) letter from the VA stating eligibility and length of entitlement (Ch 33 and 35). This will be sent to you four to eight weeks after you apply for your benefits using the VONAPP process. If you have not yet received your COE, you may substitute a DD-214 or other proof of benefits eligibility, but you will still need to submit a COE as soon as you receive it.
