GI Bill Information

A Military Friendly School

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs determines the eligibility of educational benefits for veterans and/or their family members. If you or your family members are eligible for veteran educational benefits, King College will certify your enrollment in order for you or your family members to receive these benefits.

Military Evaluation

The Registrar’s Office at King College will evaluate your military training and experience for possible college credit. A military credential evaluation is optional and has no bearing on your admission status. This evaluation does not include evaluation of transfer work from other educational institutions. You must provide those transcripts separately. To inquire about your military transcript, please contact the American Council of Education at 202.939.9470.
