Veteran and Veteran Family Students

The Bursar’s Office manages the financial aspects of Veteran Educational Benefits, while the Registrar’s Office provides the VA with enrollment certifications. Questions about eligibility and tuition/housing coverage should be directed to the Department of Veterans Affairs at: www.gibill.va.gov or call 1-888-442-4551.

Once you receive your eligibility from the VA, please contact the Registrar’s Office Veteran School Certifying Official at 518-458-5464 or registrar@strose.edu in order to initiate the use of your veteran educational benefits at The College of Saint Rose.

Veteran and veteran family students at The College of Saint Rose have ongoing responsibilities to Veterans Affairs (VA), and the School Certifying Official (SCO) at Saint Rose. These groups closely monitor enrollment status and academic progress. It is the responsibility of the student using veteran educational benefits to follow the policies and guidelines outlined by the VA and The College of Saint Rose.
