At Brightpoint, we can help you with the process of applying for and utilizing your military and veterans educational benefits.

Getting Started

1. Explore how your military training and past college coursework may allow you to earn credit for prior learning.

2. Use the VA Comparison Tool/Payment Rates to determine which benefit is the best for you.

3. Apply online for your veterans educational benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs web site. Apply as early as possible to receive your Certificate of Eligibility and submit it to the Military & Veterans Education Office.

4. You may also apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Brightpoint's school code is 004004. If you didn’t select a major on your application to Brightpoint, meet with an advisor or use the online form to declare a major.

Contact the Military & Veterans Education Office for assistance in selecting the right benefits program for you.

Support

The Military & Veterans Education Office (MVEO) supports military personnel, veterans and their families as they navigate their benefits and their time at Brightpoint. MVEO staff are all veterans who understand where you have been and excited to help you achieve your goals. 

In addition to the MVEO, the Student Veterans Organization offers opportunities for military-affiliated Brightpoint students to connect and give back to their community.

 


The Virginia State Approving Agency (SAA), is the approving authority of education and training programs for Virginia.  Their office investigates complaints of GI Bill beneficiaries. While most complaints should initially follow school grievance policy, if the situation cannot be resolved at the school, the beneficiary should contact the Virginia State Approving Agency.
