Admission Process
To apply for education benefits:

- Once you have been admitted, email the following documents to the Office of the Registrar and Veteran Services to militaryservices@felician.edu
- A copy of your certificate of eligibility (COE, that you received through the Ebenefits website above)
- A copy of your DD-214
Once you are registered for class we will certify your enrollment into EM. This allows the department of Veterans’ Affairs to know that you are enrolled and your education benefits will be started.
Felician University Military Grant*
Grant is available to all military veterans from any conflict era. Felician has designed a special grant for all veterans, active duty service members, and their family members using transfer benefits when enrolled in our bachelor completion programs. This grant is available in addition to military education benefits.
Felician University will limit academic residency to twenty-five percent or less of the degree requirement for all degrees for active-duty servicemembers and their adult family members (spouse and university-age children). In addition, there are no “final year” or “final semester” residency requirements for active-duty servicemembers and their family members. Academic residency can be completed at any time while active-duty servicemembers and their family members are enrolled. Reservist and national Guardsmen on active-duty are covered in the same manner.
* Grant will not exceed the cost of attendance.
