Federal Educational Benefits
Welcome to MVP forms!
Military & Veterans Programs has transitioned to a paperless office environment. All required documents for certification must be submitted to MVP as an attachment to your online electronic form.
How to Start:
- Complete registration with no expected changes prior to submitting an MVP Form for certification.
- Sign onto MVP Forms with your ERaider ID and Password.
- Click one form per term for completion.
- Only the terms listed in each dropdown are available for certification.
- Specific Instructions are available within each form.
- Click on links within each form for Federal Checklists and the Hazlewood Checklists.
- Remember to upload requested supporting documents prior to form submission. Note: In MVP Forms, push SAVE before SUBMIT to view uploaded documents
- Click on Federal Educational Benefits, PDF Forms & Checklists to access forms not yet available on MVP Forms such as a
Parent Institution Letter (PIL), Federal Tutoring forms, the TTU SBS 3rd Party Agreement
form or the Military Payment Plan Enrollment Request Form.
- All MVP Students may fill out a Military Payment Plan Enrollment Request form and submit it to sbs@ttu.edu or deliver in person to SBS in 301 West Hall. This form will delay payment for tuition and fees only until the first payment plan deadline. Note: if you have Housing, meal plan or other charges, this form doesn't cover those so you must go ahead and make payment arrangements with SBS for those items immediately.
