Academic Records Office - Veteran's Affairs

LeTourneau University thanks every veteran for their service to our country and for the sacrifices you have made.   LeTourneau University does coordinate with the VA to allow students to use their GI Bill while in school here.   The Hazelwood Act cannot be used at LeTourneau University as it is funding for public Texas institutions, and LeTourneau University is a private institution.

NEW: The Post 9/11 GI Bill – starts August 1, 2009

LeTourneau University is very excited to be participating with the New Post 9/11 GI Bill and is also a Yellow Ribbon school as well.   If you have questions about tuition and fees paid or housing allowance, please visit www.gibill.va.gov .    The VA’s section on the Post 9/11 GI Bill is a wealth of information and most questions can be answered by looking here.   For further questions, please feel free to call Ginger Moore, the Veteran Representative for LeTourneau University, at 903-233-4382.  Additional information may be found at http://www.letu.edu/vets.
