Veteran Benefits
Use the GI Bill® comparison tool to determine which benefit you are eligible for based on your time in service and military status. The benefit estimator compares the estimated benefits paid depending on the GI Bill® and school.
Make sure to apply for your VA Education Benefits on the VA’s website, based on one of the following criteria:
- Chapters 30/33/1606/1607: VA FORM 22-1990
- Chapter 33 Transfer of Entitlement: VA FORM 22-1990E
- Chapters 31 (Vocational Rehab): VA FORM 28-1900
- Chapters 35 (Survivors and Dependents): VA FORM 22-5490
Student veterans should submit your Member-4 copy of your DD FORM 214 with your application. Copies can be obtained by logging into their eBenefits account. Students must obtain a premium account which will give access to military documents, including their DD-214. Students can also get a copy by going to U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and requesting it.
Each semester you wish to use your benefits, you need to submit a Veterans Request for Enrollment Certification form. Access the form by using your Pace student account. You must submit this form for each semester you are enrolled at Pace.

Bachelor of ARTs in LIBERAL STUDIES
Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary program of 120 credits designed for transfer and advanced students. Eligible applicants should have completed a minimum of 24 college credits.
Many of the people we see in the liberal studies program are eclectic learners who have been resistant to boxes and the academic timeline. We want to nurture those aspects of their learning experience. The standard path doesn’t work for everyone, and we do not want to exhaust anyone’s resilience or patience with a college experience. There is a lot of respect for someone who has chosen Pace as their last college stop.
