Veteran Affairs

The Financial Aid Office maintains all files for veterans enrolled at Hawkeye.

Veterans and reservists should:

• Pick up an application in the Financial Aid Office
• Pay your first semester tuition and fees the day of registration or make other arrangements with the Business Office. Note: Veterans do not generally receive any VA benefits for at least six weeks after initial registration in a program.
• Keep your attendance and grade point average in good standing.
• Report a change of address to the Financial Aid Office.
• Contact Veteran’s Affairs Office if you drop or add a class. Dropping below full-time status may affect your benefits.

Other important information:

• The college will notify the VA of your status.
• Veterans Administration will not provide any benefits, if you retake a course that you received a passing grade to improve your grade point average.
• Under Veterans Administration guidelines, veterans may receive payments in advance of the start of classes.
