Students should contact their local VA Office to inquire about specific entitlements.

 

 

Students should bring a copy of the following documentation to our school:

 

1. DD 214 Discharge papers (unless you are still active duty, then we don’t need them)

 

2. College transcripts from any training institution that you may have attended. Institute of Flight Operations & Dispatch must receive your college transcripts (or transcripts from any other training institution that you may have attended).The Texas Workforce Commission and Department of Veteran’s Affairs insist that we have your transcripts on hand (so that we may evaluate you for prior training and credit). So, make sure that you write a simple letter of request to the other training schools and/or colleges that you have attended in the past. We can not process your VA paperwork without transcripts! You can not get paid from the VA office until we send in your VA paperwork, and we will not do this until we have your “official” school transcripts.

 

3. A completed copy of the DD form 1990 – “Application for Education Benefits”.
