Please note: Your Military Educational Benefits will impact certain financial aid eligibility. Military Educational Benefits will be included as a financial resource in your financial aid award package and may reduce state grants, University grants, federal loans and work study, and private loans. Each financial aid award type is different, so the Military Educational Benefits may affect each person's award differently. Please contact Student Financial Services for questions about how your Veterans benefits may impact your financial aid at sfs@virginia.edu or 434.982.6000.
