Veteran and Military Personnel Information

Franklin Pierce University welcomes veterans and dependents. Franklin Pierce University is approved to certify students for VA Educational Benefits. The VA makes eligibility determinations and students that believe they may be eligible for benefits under the GI Bill® should seek determination from the VA.

We are approved to accept veteran's educational benefits, abide by the Principles of Excellence, and invite credits from non-collegiate sources such as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the American Council on Education (ACE).

Getting Started is Easy!

1. Apply for admission to Franklin Pierce University.
2. Begin the process of filing for financial aid with our Student Financial Services Office (financial aid/billing). To get a head start, complete and submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The FAFSA form will help determine any additional federal grants and loans for which you may be eligible.
3. Please contact the VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) or visit the US Department of Veteran Affairs site for information about applying for education benefits and eligibility. Applications for veteran benefits may be completed completely online.
4. Once the VA has approved your application for benefits, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility. Please submit a copy to the Franklin Pierce School Certifying Official.

 

Transfer Credit

Your military experience could possibly be applied to college credit, reducing the amount of time it may take you to complete your undergraduate degree. Please arrange for your military transcripts to be sent to Franklin Pierce University. 

If you have college courses from any other regionally accredited institution, request for an official transcript to be sent to the Franklin Pierce University for evaluation of transfer credits.
