Veteran Benefits

CalVet Waiver

Students may be eligible to use their CalVet Waiver to cover the tuition costs of their study abroad program.

At this time, federal benefits usage is not approved for study abroad. Please contact the Associate Director for Veteran’s Benefits, Marcee Davis, vabenefit@saonet.ucla.edu, for more information.

UCEAP

After receiving their program nomination, students must send their CalVet Waiver award letter to studentfinance@eap.ucop.edu. UCEAP Finance will then apply the waiver to applicable expenses.

UCLA Travel Study and Global Internship Program

Students must contact the Associate Director for Veteran’s Benefits, Marcee Davis, vabenefit@saonet.ucla.edu, once their schedule is finalized. The coordinator will then apply the waiver to applicable expenses.

Additionally, Global Internship Program participants must complete and upload a Veteran Benefits Agreement Form by February 9, 2024 to their application portal. This form will be accessible to students on their application portal once officially accepted into the Global Internship Program.

It is critical that you inform the UCLA Financial Aid Office as early as possible about your upcoming Veteran funding so they can properly adjust your financial aid offer.
