Veterans’ Benefits

Please go here to learn more.

Eligibility for education benefits is determined by the VA. Determine your eligibility and apply for GI Bill ® benefits now. Have a question? Contact the VA directly.

To initiate your benefits at our school, submit your most recent certificate of eligibility or e-benefits printout to the Office of Financial Aid before your first fall semester. (Returning students also may be asked for a copy of their recent payment notification letter.)

Qualifying veterans (or their dependent children or spouses) can have their tuition and fees paid based on their active-duty service under Chapter 33/Post-9/11 GI Bill ® .

• Who qualifies: To qualify for 100 percent of Chapter 33 benefits, you must have served at least 36 months of active duty after September 10, 2001, with an honorable discharge. Qualifying veterans also may transfer some or all their unused benefits to their spouse or dependent children.
• Maximum benefits: A maximum of $29,290.95 covering tuition and fees for the 2025–2026 academic year will be paid directly to New England Law. It can take four to six weeks to be sent after certification. Housing allowance and book payments through this benefits program are sent directly to the student veteran.

Veterans who are eligible for 100 percent of the Chapter 33 benefits (or their children or spouses) may also qualify for a Yellow Ribbon grant from New England Law.

• What it is: New England Law awards unlimited matching grant funds, up to the cost of tuition and fees, to all eligible student veterans. This grant is applied to your account after you’ve exhausted the maximum Chapter 33 tuition and fees payment for the academic year to cover the remaining cost.
• Who qualifies: To qualify for 100 percent of Chapter 33 benefits—and a Yellow Ribbon grant—you must have served at least 36 months of active duty after September 10, 2001, with an honorable discharge. Qualifying veterans also may transfer some or all their unused benefits to their spouse or dependent children.

Chapter 30 (Montgomery GI Bill ® , Active Duty), Chapter 35 (Dependents’ Educational Assistance), Chapter and 1606 Montgomery GI Bill ® , Reservists) offer tuition reimbursement to veterans at varying rates.

Any individual entitled to education assistance under Chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, or Chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill ® benefits is required to:

• Submit to the Office of Financial Aid a certificate of eligibility for entitlement to education assistance, or a Statement of Benefits obtained from the VA eBenefits website or a VAF 28-1905 form for Chapter 31 authorization no later than the first day of classes in any semester.
• Verify their desire to use their Chapter 31 or 33 benefits by confirming by email to the Office of Financial Aid no later than the first day of classes in any semester.

Any covered individual may attend or participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on they provide to the law school any of the eligibility documents mentioned above and ending on the earlier of the following dates:

1. The date on which payment from the VA is made to the law school
2. 90 days after the date the law school certified tuition and fees following the receipt of any
   eligibility to entitlement documents.

The law school will not impose any penalty (including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, the law library, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds) on any covered individual because of their inability to meet his or her financial obligation to the law school due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the VA.

Any covered individual will, however, remain responsible for timely payment of any tuition or fees due to the law school that is the difference between the amount of the student’s financial obligation and the amount of the VA education benefit disbursement.
