Military Financial Aid Benefits for HPU Online Education
Step 1: Students planning to enroll under any GI Bill program must first submit the VA Form 22-1990. Students may click here to apply online.
Step 2: VA-approved students will receive a letter or Certificate of Eligibility from the VA once the student's application has been processed and the student is now ready to register for courses. Simply forward a copy of your eligibility letter to the VA Coordinator at HPU.
Step 3: When you register for classes, fill out the Request for Enrollment Certification Form and submit it to the HPU Veterans Affairs Coordinator. This form will be accepted via:
Email from your HPU webmail account (ex. jdoe@campus.hpu.edu) to va@hpu.edu – no signature is needed at the bottom of this form if you are submitting it through your HPU webmail account
OR
Fax (808-544-0285) or mail to: Hawai‘i Pacific University, VA Coordinator, 1164 Bishop Street Suite 215, Honolulu, HI 96813. Enrollment certifications will not be processed without a signature.
Step 4: Students must verify their enrollment with the VA at the end of each month to receive payment. Verification can be confirmed via the web by logging on to the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) system or by telephone at 1-877-823-2378.
Students participating in the Tuition Assistance Top-Up program cannot be certified for VA benefits by the school certifying official; instead, they must forward a copy of their military Tuition Assistance form directly to the VA at: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, PO Box 8888, Muskogee, OK 74402-8888. For more information, please visit their website.
We thank you in advance for complying with the new policy and procedures for requesting enrollment certification each term. This process will help us better service our HPU veterans, service members and dependents in a more timely and efficient manner. We thank you for your cooperation!
If you have any questions and/or concerns, please contact the VA Coordinator at va@hpu.edu or at (808) 356-5222.
