Veterans Funding
The Montgomery GI Bill® can help students pay for education and training programs with at least two years of active duty service. Up to 36 months of education benefits are paid directly to the student, with the amount calculated based on factors such as length of service and type of education program.
Students may receive Vocational Rehabilitation services to help with job training, employment accommodations, resume development and job seeking skills coaching. Eligible veterans and servicemembers may apply for VOC Rehab benefits online through the VA.
The American GI Forum – Mile High Chapter Scholarship Fund will provide a $1000 scholarship support to two deserving student Veterans at Regis University, with a preference to students who are members of groups that are underrepresented at the University, such as Hispanic and Latino students. The application deadline to be considered for this scholarship is in the fall semester. Please contact Milvetservices@regis.edu to request an application.
The Military Scholars Fund is a scholarship award for Veteran students and/or children or spouses of service members. Awards may be made in any amount up to $1,000 per award. Scholarships are awarded in both the Spring and Fall terms. The application deadline is in the fall semester. Please contact Milvetservices@regis.edu to request an application.
The VA currently offers a tuition maximum of $21,970.46 per academic year for students at 100% eligibility as indicated on their Certificate of Eligibility. Students awarded less than 100% of the Post 9/11 GI benefit will be responsible for covering outstanding tuition charges, due on or before the tuition due date. Students are encouraged to apply for federal financial aid for any costs not covered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill®.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also allows veterans to transfer all or some unused educational benefits to their spouse or dependent children. The Department of Defense (DoD) determines whether or not you can transfer benefits to your family. For more information on transferring your benefits, visit the VA website.
