Eligibility for Chapter 33 benefits does not guarantee admission to FDU.

Eligibility for Chapter 33 benefits is determined by the Veterans Administration – not by FDU.

Information was collected from the website of the Department of Veterans Affairs and is accurate to the best of our knowledge at this time. Veterans should rely on official VA documentation and policies in determining their individual eligibility for educational benefits.
