Hartpury University can support eligible US students who wish to use Veteran Affairs (VA) / GI Bill education benefits as part of their funding arrangements.
If you are planning to use VA / GI Bill benefits at Hartpury University, you should:
- Hold an offer to study at Hartpury University, and
- Notify our team no later than 31 May
This helps ensure there is enough time to support the process before you arrive in the UK.
Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and the type of VA benefit you hold. If you believe you may be eligible, we recommend confirming this directly with the Department of Veterans Affairs:
GI Bill helpline: +1 888-GIBILL-1 (+1 888 442 4551)

Housing support is based on a national average for foreign institutions. For students using benefits on or after 1 January 2018, the maximum Monthly Housing Allowance payable at a foreign institution is $2,338 per month.
