Will my military education benefit cover my residency fees?

Yes, your military education benefit will cover a required Residency.  Your residency must be a requirement for your degree program. Consulting Skills Intensives and Writing Intensive residencies are not covered by the benefit. In order to be certified for the residency, you must submit a Residency Statement Form.

VA compensation for Residencies
