One place. Every answer.

Veterans have to piece together their education benefits from a dozen different places just to know what they're entitled to, and even then are often left without a clear next step for funding the gap. This could be happening for your members today. Our new calculator gives you the chance to be the institution that offers one tool, one place, for figuring out the steps.

The Education Funding Gap is No Longer Hypothetical

Veterans and military-connected students are entering a higher-stakes borrowing environment. They may have meaningful education benefits available, but many struggle to determine what applies to their situation, how benefits work alongside school aid, and whether Yellow Ribbon support is available before they borrow.

For credit unions, that creates a timely opportunity: help members navigate benefits first, identify any remaining funding gap, and connect them with responsible financing only when it is appropriate.
