If you have previously used VA education benefits and remain eligible for additional assistance, benefits can be transferred from one institution to another. Requests for changes in place of training are routinely approved, whereas requests for changes in program involve several restrictions.

For all of these programs, service members must first complete VA Form 22-1990, Application for Education Benefits, and send to the nearest VA office.
