Veterans Educational Benefits
Office of Veterans Affairs
Johns Hopkins University is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission to provide education and training to veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible spouses and dependents enrolled in degree or certificate programs approved by the State Approving Agency. Enrollment certifications are submitted to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing veterans’ educational benefits.
Johns Hopkins University fully complies with Section 103.1(b) of the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018. In accordance with this provision, the University does not impose penalties - including the assessment of late fees, denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement to secure additional financing - on any covered individual whose inability to meet financial obligations is due to delayed disbursement of funding under Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness and Employment) or Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill®) programs administered by the VA. The University also participates in the Principles of Excellence program.
To prevent outstanding balances, students utilizing Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 benefits must:

- Maintain a current VR&E Purchase Order authorization on file (Chapter 31);
- Complete a Third-Party Payer VA certification request each term; and
