  • Click one VA Certification Request per term.
  • Only the terms listed in each dropdown are available for certification.
  • Specific Instructions are available within each certification request.
  • Click on links within each form for Federal Checklists and the Hazlewood Checklists.
  • Remember to upload requested supporting documents via the MVP Forms Portal, under the "My Applications" tab. Your VA certification will not go into submitted status until all required documents are uploaded. 
    • All MVP Students, using federal benefits may enroll a Military Payment Plan Enrollment Request (MPP) at no cost.
      • Why enroll in a Military Payment Plan?
        • It postpones the payment due date  by up to two months (onlyuntil the first payment plan deadline). This is helpful if you cannot be certified for benefits because you are awaiting documents from VA.
