UAS Student Veterans and Families

Coronavirus Update: 

UAS Veteran Services will continue to be operational but will only be assessible via phone, email, or virtual meetings (Zoom). The UAS School Certifying Official will continue to monitor any new information being announced by the VA and report that information here on this page. Students receiving VA educational benefits should also receive communications from the VA via email. If you have not received any emails from the VA within the last week, please call 888-442-4551 to update your email address. 

At this time, there will be no changes in your VA educational benefits through the end of spring semester as all classes are transitioned to online delivery for the remainder of the semester. Post 9/11 beneficiaries will continue to receive the same BAH through the remainder of the semester, as long as students do not make any changes to their current schedule (withdraw/drop). 

If you have questions, please contact the UAS School Certifying Official, Deborah Rydman, at 907-796-6368 or drrydman@alaska.edu. 

This website is designed to help veterans, reservists/guard/active duty service members and dependents receive their educational benefits. Included is information about the different types of VA Educational programs and instructions on how to use them at UAS. There is also information about veterans resources on campus and in the community. UAS is proud to help veterans and their families succeed while attending UAS.
