WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Area veterans interested in using their Military Education Benefits to earn a college degree from Missouri State University-West Plains are invited to attend an informational session Tuesday, March 22, at the university’s Shannon Hall facility, 401 East 17th St., in Mountain Grove.
No appointment is necessary. Veterans are invited to drop by anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. that day, organizers said.
Mark White, coordinator of Missouri State-West Plains’ Veterans Services, said university officials will be on hand to help veterans navigate the admissions and financial aid process for the 2016 summer session and fall semester. This includes assistance with completing the admissions application, filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), choosing a degree program, and completing the veteran’s educational benefits eligibility forms.
Veterans interested in taking classes during the 2016 fall semester should bring their 2015 personal income tax records for filling out the FAFSA and their DD-214 for filling out the educational benefits forms, White said.
