COLGATE ROCHESTER CROZER DIVINITY SCHOOL PROUDLY SUPPORTS PERSONS IN UNIFORM AND WISHES TO SAY “THANK YOU” FOR YOUR SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO OUR COUNTRY.
Veterans Educational Benefits: Veterans of the Armed Services are generally eligible for educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA pays some benefits directly to the veteran/student, and some to the School, depending upon which program the veteran/student participates in. The veteran/student must apply for benefits directly with the VA, and Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School will certify the student’s enrollment and academic progress to the VA. The VA makes monthly payments to the student or School as appropriate based upon that certification.
Veterans with a service-connected disability and children/dependents of veterans who were disabled or killed in the line of duty may be eligible for additional veterans’ benefits.
CRCDS's VA School Certifying Official is Ms. Polly Bush, Director of Enrollment Services and Financial Aid. She can be reached at pbush@crcds.edu.
For more information about VA educational benefits, please contact the Department of Veterans Affairs at 1-888-GI BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) or visit their website at: VA Educational Benefits webpage.
