What must I do to qualify for VUB?

To benefit from our no cost VUB program services, you must first meet a few simple eligibility requirements: All participants must have served in active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for more than 180 consecutive days and received other than a dishonorable discharge; or was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability (180 days does not apply); was a member of a reserve/national guard component of the Armed Forces called to active duty for a period of more than 30 days; or was a member of a reserve/national guard component of the Armed Forces who served on active duty in support of a contingency operation on or after September 11, 2001.

All participants should be either low-income (based on family income and number of dependents) and/or first-generation college students (neither natural parent earned a bachelor's degree). All participants must demonstrate academic potential as well as have an academic need.

If you are not sure if you qualify, give us a call and we would be glad to explain the eligibility requirements in further detail.
