For many service members and veterans, Seton Hall's commitment to educating those
who continue to lead by example and serve their community is what draws them to the
university.
Seton Hall University provides personalized, world-class services to enhance the educational experiences
of veterans, service members, and their families. We’re here for you, ready to answer
your questions and lead you through the process of enrollment — until you’re ready
to march across our stage to graduation.
Seton Hall University is thankful to our men and women in uniform for their service. We are proud to be a part of the Post-9/11 Yellow Ribbon Program. If you were on active duty on or after September 10, 2001, you and your family may qualify for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Slots for the Yellow Ribbon Program are unlimited for graduate and undergraduate students, the only requirement is that the student be 100% eligible for Post-9/11 G.I. Bill®.
The Office of Financial Aid certifies eligible veterans and their dependents for educational benefit payments. The veteran and/or their dependents must first complete an application for benefits on the Veterans Administration (VA) portal. The VA will send the student a Certificate of Eligibility which should be submitted to the Office Financial of Aid.
All veteran students who wish to receive educational benefits must complete a Veterans' Administration Benefits Application Form.
It takes about 30 days for the VA to process education claims and make their decision for your eligibility. You’ll get a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), or award letter, in the mail if we’ve approved your application. Bring this to the VA certifying official at your school.
