Veterans returning from a deployment...

 
Welcome back! We are ready to assist you with your return to Boise State!

If you were activated and deployed by a Presidential Order, your financial aid status has likely been affected.

There are two specific situations which impact your financial aid eligibility that are addressed in this Timely Tip.

  1. Previously "dependent" financial aid applicants are now "independent" with proper documentation, see below.
  2. Satisfactory Academic Progress HOLDs because of complete withdrawals can be reviewed and adjusted.
  If you were a "dependent" financial aid applicant before your military activation, you are now considered "independent."
bullet If you previously filed a 2007-2008 (for summer) or 2008-2009 FAFSA for fall 2008, you may need to make corrections to this FAFSA to indicate that you are now a veteran.
bullet Please provide a copy of your DD214 Member 4 form to the Boise State Financial Aid Office

If you have a Satisfactory Academic Progress HOLD due to a complete withdrawal at the time you activated for military duty...

bullet Please notify our office that you are a veteran of the Iraq war. If, at the time of your complete withdrawal, you provided a copy of your military orders, Boise State will have that on record. There is nothing else you need to do.
bullet If you did not provide a copy of your military orders before you withdrew, please provide a copy of those orders to the Financial Aid Office now. A copy of your DD214 Member 4 form may also provide the documentation we need to review and remove your HOLD.
