When a student receives federal VA educational tuition payments in addition to their monthly stipend, the amount is processed as a third party payment through the Bursar’s Office. These students should complete our online form To Report Other Aid Resources at http://www.louisville.edu/student/services/fin-aid/oservices. These 3rd party payments are tracked on our system as an award by Angela Beverly (Est. Third Party Billing). |

Students having questions about a VETCT checklist. VETCT is requested by our office when a student indicates they are a veteran of the U.S. armed forces on the FAFSA and they have failed the VA database match. These students must submit proof of their veteran status. This has nothing to do with VABEN checklist since veterans may or may not be in receipt of veterans’ benefits. |

Students eligible for state mandated tuition benefits as a result of their relationship to a Kentucky disabled or deceased veteran. These students must submit paperwork to the Kentucky Veteran’s Administration to certify their eligibility. As a result, they are issued a certification which must be submitted to Wes for processing by our office. They will be tracked with a student group (505, 515, 507, 512) and be awarded by our office (T/R State KRS 505, 515, 507, 512). |
