Veterans' Program

Lubbock Christian University is approved for veterans programs except the Hazelwood Act. Depending on the program and eligibility, veterans may be paid a monthly allowance, tuition and fees, a housing stipend and/or book stipend from the Veterans Administration while attending college. Children of deceased veterans may be eligible for benefits. Applications for benefits should be completed and submitted on the veterans website at www.gibill.va.gov. 

Veteran admission files must be complete and academic plans approved before the registrar/certification officer certifies enrollment for benefits. Only classes meeting degree requirements are eligible for certification of benefits. Changes in major, class schedule and substitutions must be reported to the VA within a limited time frame, so each change must be discussed with the registrar/certification officer at the time of the change.

AccreditedOnlineColleges.org: A comprehensive resource that provides Veterans with a wide range of information including how to capitalize on the money awarded to them by the GI Bill to pursue a university education.

Lubbock Christian University is committed to providing support to assist veterans and their dependents in obtaining a college degree.  Lubbock Christian University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program.  Please read the eligibility requirements below and complete the application if eligible. Return completed application to the VA Certification Officer.

Please note that: 

• The student must be approved by the VA to receive Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits at the 100% level. If your eligibility percentage is below 100%, you are not eligible to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. 
• LCU Yellow Ribbon Scholarships are offered in lieu of all other LCU funded aid, including previously offered academic scholarships. If veteran benefits expire prior to graduation, academic scholarships may be reinstated as long as academic renewal requirements have been met. 
• Renewal of LCU funded Yellow Ribbon contributions requires that you maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress towards your degree. 
• Eligibility for the Yellow Ribbon Program is determined by the Veterans Affairs Administration and not LCU. 
• The student must have entitlement left. (You will continue to use entitlement under the Post 9/11 GI Bill while participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program.) 
• The student must provide the LCU VA Coordinator with the proper documentation needed to receive VA benefits under Chapter 33 Post 9/11 GI Bill while at Lubbock Christian University. 
• The student must not be active duty or an active duty spouse.

Lubbock Christian University will require the student to be and remain in good academic standing. The LCU VA certification officer will communicate your eligibility for Yellow Ribbon to the Financial Aid office.
