Framingham State University is approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for veterans' benefits, and for the education of veterans, war orphans, and the dependents of 100% disabled veterans. Eligible veterans other than Chapter 34 have 10 years from the date of separation from active duty to use their educational benefits. Chapter 34 veteran (old G.I.) benefits expired January 1, 1990. When filing for benefits, eligible veterans should submit a copy of their separation from service (DD214).
The University seeks to provide assistance in obtaining benefits, financial aid and other services for full and part-time students. Filing the benefits and certification of enrollment must be done through the Office of the Registrar, Dwight 220 (Day Division) or the Office of Continuing Education, McCarthy Center Room 515 (Graduate and Continuing Education Division). Both offices also provide information regarding VA requirements.
