Does the University of Minnesota Accept the GI Bill?

Hi, my name is Hassan and I am wondering if the University of Minnesota accepts the GI Bill and what do I need to do to get accepted?

Hi Hassan, The University of Minnesota is approved for the Post 9/11 GI Bill or at least some of their campuses are on the list.  I would think that if some campuses are approved, then all of them would be approved, but what you should do is contact the VA Certifying Official at the campus of the University of Minnesota you would like to attend and verify that the program you hope to pursue is approved.

I also checked to see if the University of Minnesota is a Yellow Ribbon Program and it appears they are, but only for graduate programs. That is something else you might want to verify with the VA Certifying Official though, as if they offer the Yellow Ribbon Program to undergraduate students, it could help a lot with any tuition costs that aren’t covered by the Post 9/11 GI Bill.

The GI Bill can’t help you get into the college.  You are going to have to look at the admissions requirements on their website or contact their admissions office and apply for school just as any other student would.  The fact that you’re a veteran may help you with getting accepted to the school and you may be able to get some credits for your military training and schools attended. but you will still have to go through the admissions process to be accepted into the university.
