Please be advised that Lebanon Valley College reserves the right to decrease institutional aid awarded to students receiving military and veteran's benefits as set forth below:

• The College reserves the right to decrease any institutional aid (grants/scholarships) if the sum of the veteran's benefits paid directly to the school exceeds the amount charged for tuition and fees.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) may, at their discretion, reduce a student’s anticipated Post-9/11 GI Bill® payment to Lebanon Valley College for tuition and fees in order to satisfy a student’s outstanding debt (of any kind) with DVA. Students are responsible for any balance due to the College as a result of a reduced Post-9/11 GI Bill® payment.

The Lebanon Valley College Military Scholars Tuition Reduction Program is available to Veterans (whose discharge is other than dishonorable) and current Servicemembers on Active Duty or serving as reservists. This program is offered only to enrolled part-time undergraduate students or Master's level graduate students enrolled in the MBA program. The program is not open to dependents of Veterans or to full-time undergraduate students or to students of any other graduate program. The tuition will be set at a rate of $485 per credit for the 2019-2020 academic year and will be re-evaluated each year.
