How do I obtain VA benefits with SC State University?
• Students must apply for benefits with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Students can apply via the VONAPP, Veterans On-line Application, at http://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/main.asp or Veterans Application. Veterans eligible for benefits will fill out Form 22-1990. Dependents of veterans will fill out Form 22-5490. • The Department of Veterans Affairs will mail you a Letter of Eligibility. Once received, please submit to the VA Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office/Veterans Affairs at: Veterans Affairs Coordinator: The Registrar’s Office/Veterans Affairs 106 Moss Hall Post Office Box 8104 Orangeburg, SC 29117 • It can take 6 to 8 weeks for the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is strongly recommended that students seeking veteran benefits apply via the VONAPP no later than June 1 for the Fall Semester and December 1 for the Spring Semester. The VA Coordinator can be reached at 803-536-8405 or visiting the Registrar’s Office/Veterans Affairs in Moss Hall 106.
