Benefits
La Roche University invites all military, veterans and their dependents
to meet with us to discuss their educational interests. La Roche is proud to be selected as a military-friendly college by GI JOBS
magazine. Additionally we participate in every GI Education Benefit
program, including the more recent Post 9-11 GI Bill® and the Yellow Ribbon
Program. It is our hope that through our staff we can streamline the
experience of applying to La Roche and accessing military educational
benefits. This website is dedicated to pulling together the various
resources and services that military personnel may be interested in as they
consider La Roche.
To learn more about the various educational benefits and to
apply for your post 911 GI Bill® benefits, please go to www.gibill.va.gov.
If you are currently receiving VA educational benefits and
