Tutorial Assistance

Besides the regular benefits to which veterans are entitled, the Veterans' Office also provides for tutorial assistance. When necessary, a veteran may request tutorial assistance for classes in which he/she is experiencing difficulties.

Tutorial assistance is considered necessary in classes that the veteran will not pass. The veteran must obtain the instructor's recommendation that he/she requires a tutor's aid in order to receive a passing grade. Tutorial benefits do not apply in cases where the student merely wishes to raise his/her grade level.

Please contact the UVSC Veterans Office to obtain the required paperwork needed to request tutorial assistance.

Tutoring Limits

A tutor must be department approved and may not be a close relative of the student.
Unreasonable hourly fees for tutors will not be accepted.
The maximum tutoring limit is $1200 (VA pays $600, Veterans GI Bill Benefit pays $600).
The maximum tutoring limit is not to exceed $100 per month.

Tutoring Reimbursement

The Veterans' Regional Office will reimburse the student for tutor's fees after the proper forms have been submitted. (Note: The student usually pays the tutor at the time of services then is reimbursed by the VA.)
