The Crown College is committed to assisting students in receiving the training they need. A financial obstacle should not keep a student from pursuing God’s call to prepare. Some of the most vital lessons you will ever learn in trusting the Lord will be taught in the "school of finance." These are lessons about the stewardship of your life. You must learn to depend on the Lord alone to meet your needs. Work hard, pray continually, and trust Him. He is willing and able to meet the needs of those who delight in His will. God will not fail you. If God is leading you to prepare at The Crown College, trust His will for your life. Where God leads, He will provide.

General Guidelines and Requirements

Apply to the VA to determine your eligibility using VA Form 22-1990, "Application for Education Benefits" (this form can be filled out electronically using www.gibill.va.gov). Chapter 35 applicants use VA 22-5490 application form. Generally, if you have already completed this form in the past, and there are no substantial changes to your program (for example: changing colleges, schools, or majors) it will not be necessary to submit a new form each year.

The VA Regional Office in St Louis manages VA benefits for students attending The Crown College of the Bible. If you filed an application for benefits at another regional office you may experience a significant delay. The St. Louis regional office cannot proceed with your request until it has approved your application, or has on file a copy of a Certificate of Eligibility issued by another VA Regional Office. This is vital for first-time applicants. If you already have a Certificate of Eligibility from another VA regional office, send a copy to the St. Louis office (address below) immediately.

Please note:

• You must submit a DD214 "Certificate of Release from Active Duty" to The Crown College of the Bible before registration (except applicants in Chapters 31 and 35).
• You must provide The Crown College of the Bible with copies of all VA forms you have submitted (student files are audited by the VA periodically).
• You must contact the VA every month during the semester to confirm your continued enrollment (877.823.2378).
• You must sign and return The Crown College of the Bible "Veteran Student Addendum" Form to the Registrar's Office each year.
• You must sign and return the Student Handbook Acknowledgement Form to the Registrar's Office.
• You must keep the VA advised of any change of address or direct deposit by calling the VA (877.838.2778) or the St. Louis Regional Office (888.442.4551).

Finding grants and scholarships takes prayer and diligent work. Start your search as soon as you can. Keep records to avoid duplication of effort and to track specific requirements and documents you need to compile. Complete each application thoroughly, paying particular attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Some may require a brief essay; read and follow directions completely. Make sure you meet deadlines. If an agency has more applications than funds to award, incomplete or late applications will not receive attention. Prepare well and be thorough. Don’t get discouraged and don’t automatically assume you will not qualify for a scholarship. The rising cost of college has made many families eligible for need-based assistance. Don’t give up!
