Veterans Benefits
In many cases, veterans benefits can be used to pay for some or all expenses incurred through participation in a CSUSB-led program. However, if you receive a stipend for a specific expense (for example, housing) you will be expected to pay for that portion of the Program Fee out of your benefits already received. The course that you complete through the study abroad program must also be required for your academic program of study, whether directly for your major or as one of your free electives (if you have already completed all of your free electives, you may not be eligible to use your veterans benefits to cover the study abroad expenses).
Veterans benefits, with the possible exception of the CalVet Fee Waiver, cannot be used to participate in CSUIP programs in most cases.
The use of veterans benefits to fund participation in Direct Enroll and Exchange programs is dependent on a variety of factors, including the fee payment structure, the institution's history of hosting previous veterans benefits recipients, and the host institution's certification status. In some cases veterans benefits can only be used if you take a leave of absence from CSUSB and enroll directly with a certified overseas institution with a parent school letter documenting a plan for coursework transfer. Use the GI Bill Comparison Tool to identify certified international institutions by city.
Because the use of veterans benefits to study abroad is very context specific, if you are planning to use Veterans Benefits as a part of your study abroad financial plan, you should speak with the campus' certifying official early in your program participation planning.
