Military Benefits Programs & Certifying Officals
Veterans and their dependents may be eligible for benefits from programs designed to help with education expenses.
Grants and scholarships from Bethel are reduced if your total military benefits, grants, and scholarships exceed the cost of attendance (including tuition, room, board, activity fees, and $1,000 for books and supplies).
