Veterans: Put Your GI Bill® Benefits to Work at SANS.edu
Ready to turn your VA Benefits into cyber training? Start here.
1) Before starting New Student Orientation, submit your Certificate of Eligibility from the US 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
11200 Rockville Pike Suite 200
North Bethesda, MD 20852
3) If you have used GI Bill® before, you will need to use these instructions for changing institutions.
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.
