How this intersects with VA & military education benefits
VA education and training benefits seamlessly integrate with our discount, providing strong support for eligible veterans and dependents preparing for medical training. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides programs that help pay tuition and fees while you’re training for a medical career. Service members, spouses, survivors, and dependents may be able to use VA benefits to cover essential education expenses. These benefits offer monthly payment support and educational assistance to help you stay focused on your school or training program.
Contact us to learn how to enroll, use these benefits, and receive guidance from a trained professional.

- Veteran medical students who have active or eligible VA education benefits (including Post-9/11 GI Bill® or other VA programs).
- Dependents with eligible VA benefits may qualify under specific VA programs (see VA guidance for Dependents’ Educational Assistance).
