Veteran Benefits
General Info
Veteran education benefits are administered through the Financial
Aid Office. The VA Certifying Official is available to serve
the needs of veteran students and eligible dependents. VA
benefit programs change frequently, so we hope you will seek the
advice of our VA Certifying Official when applying for your benefits.
Our VA Certifying Official for all campuses is Yolanda Silva. You
can contact Yolanda at (970) 339-6680 or yolanda.silva@aims.edu if
you have questions regarding your education benefits. Note: Students
requesting VA education benefits for Aviation Technology certificates,
flight training only, should contact Barb Soleta at (970) 339-6472
or barb.soleta@aims.edu.
Responsibilities
The Aims Community College VA Certifying Official is responsible
for letting the VA know if a student is registered for classes
and will closely monitor each veteran student’s academic
program and enrollment status. Each semester the VA Certifying
Official will certify your enrollment to VA. Your monthly payment
rate is based upon course beginning and ending dates and number
of credit hours for which you are certified. In general,
to have your enrollment certified to VA you must:
- Apply for admissions to the college: Apply

- Be seeking a degree or certificate program approved for VA education
benefits;
- Register only for courses which are required for completion of
your degree or certificate
program (remedial and some pre-requisite
courses are also eligible for benefits);
- Complete and submit a VA Benefit Enrollment Certification Request
form each semester to the Aims Community College Financial Aid
Office;
- Notify the VA Certifying Official of any changes in your enrollment,
program of study, address, etc.;
- Submit academic transcripts from all previous education or training
to the Aims Community College Admissions and Records Office for
credit evaluation;
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress. This means
it is expected that you complete all your coursework with
a 2.0 cumulative grade point average. Failure to meet this
requirement may cancel your VA education benefits.
