How to Begin the Process
Admission to ULM is the first step to receiving your VA educational benefits. Once you have applied for admission and
have been accepted, you can begin the process to receive benefits.
The ULM Application Fee is waived for all U.S. veterans, per Louisiana's Board of Regents, the governing body for all institutions of Higher
Education in the state. Proof of current military service or a DD214 military separation
form is required to provide this waiver.
Louisiana statute RS 13:5364 defines "veteran" for purposes of this fee waiver as
a former or current member of the U.S. Armed Forces or organized militia of the several
states and territories, including but not limited to a member of the Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, Air National Guard, Reserves, State
Guard, or a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service, Environmental Science
Services Administration, or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or its
predecessor, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
