Hours Requirements
It is important for anyone utilizing VA educational assistance to be aware of hour requirements for each status. Each type of certification is described below.
Note: Hours are based on a 16-week enrollment.
Vocational Clock Hours | College Credit Hours | Training Time | Amount of Pay*** |
22 or more | 12 or more | Full-time | Maximum allowance |
16-21 | 9-11 | 3/4 time | 75 percent of maximum allowance |
11-15 | 6-8 | 1/2 time | 50 percent of maximum allowance |
10 or less | 5 or less | Below 1/2 time, but at least 1/4 | 25 percent of maximum allowance** |
**For training below 1/4 time, the DVA will pay for tuition and fees only. This is not per month, it is total. In some cases, they may send a lump sum payment or they will send a portion of your tuition and fees for each month.
***Chapter 33 pay rate is determined by student's eligibility rate and pursuit of training. (For example: If you are attending school 3/4 time in a 16 week term and your eligibility rate is 80%, then VA will pay 80% of the 3/4 time pay rate.)
