Before you can spend VA education benefits at an Illinois school or training program, the State Approving Agency has to approve it. The agency approves college and non-college degree programs, vocational schools, business schools, professional schools, vocational flight training, high schools, apprenticeships, on-the-job training programs, and licensing and certification tests.
There is nothing to apply for. Check that the program you want is approved before you enroll, and ask the school’s certifying official or the State Approving Agency if you are unsure.
Your VA education benefit paperwork and the name of the program you plan to attend.
