Veterans Education Assistance Program
(Chapter 32)

The Post-Vietnam Veteran’s Educational Program (Chapter 32) is a benefit for veterans who paid into VEAP while they were in the service.  In order to be eligible, veterans must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, entered active duty after December 31, 1976 but before July 1, 1985, and completed twenty-four continuous months of active duty.  There are some exceptions to the last requirement. 

Benefits are paid monthly and are based on the veteran’s contributions and Veteran’s Administration matching amounts in relation to the number of months contributions were made by the veteran, type of education being pursued, and the length of the educational program.

For additional information, contact the Veterans Benefits Administration.

The UAlbany contact for Veteran's Benefits is the Office of the Registrar.
