Ready to get started?

1) Before starting New Student Orientation, submit your Certificate of Eligibility from the VA during your admissions process.

2) If you have never used GI Bill® before, visit www.vets.gov and follow the prompts to apply for the first time. Use the following address:

SANS Technology Institute

To prevent registration delays, we strongly recommend you start this process immediately after submitting your application to the SANS Technology Institute as we cannot certify courses to the VA without your Certificate of Eligibility.
