Educational Benefits for our Veterans

Coba Academy is committed to making education more accessible for our nation’s veterans and their dependents. We are proud to announce our participation in federal programs that provide tuition benefits to qualified veterans accepted and enrolled at Coba Academy. Coba is approved for beneficiary use of the following VA education benefits: Chapter 30, Post 9/11 – GI Bill®, Chapter 35, Chapter 1607, and Vocational Rehabilitation.

Ms. Michele Malkasian is the primary School Certifying Official (SCO) and is available to assist with VA Benefits for all Coba Academy Programs.

To determine eligibility for benefits, the VA requires that you complete form VA22-1990. Students can also apply online on the VA website  www.gibill.va.gov. You must be accepted and registered before Coba Academy can certify your enrollment to the VA Processing Center.

After you have completed and submitted the form online, the Department of Veterans Affairs will send you a Certificate of Eligibility (COD) for Educational Benefits. Upon receipt of this notice, new students should send a copy the Certificate of Eligibility as well as DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge) to the SCO Administrator. Students must provide these specific documents to the SCO Administrator to insure timely receipt of their benefits for each Academic year if applicable.

Below for your convenience we have provided the VA Certification Checklist to ensure all proper documentation is gathered. You may also find below the Veterans Information Bulletin.
