The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) provides educational services for veterans needing assistance with the use of their educational benefits and educational planning. Veterans should contact Carol Carlile, Veteran’s Certifying Official, or the Advising Center located in the Matrix Center, inside the Taylor Administration Building. Veterans eligible to receive Veteran Affairs (VA) educational benefits will be responsible for and subject to CSI’s tuition, catalog policies and scholastic conditions, and VA regulations. Veterans receiving educational benefits may also be eligible for other financial aid program opportunities through the CSI Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.

Each semester, veterans receiving educational benefits must contact the Veterans Certifying Official following initial certification for educational benefits. This is to assure that correct VA monthly educational benefits are granted in accordance with declared major requirements. Each veteran must report to the Veterans Certifying Official at the time of registration to receive certification for next semester. The CSI Veteran Certification Form will need to be completed at the time of registration before a veteran can be certified with the VA. Any changes to the veteran’s schedule and mailing address must be reported to the Veteran’s Certifying Official. Further information regarding these policies and procedures can be found in the current College catalog or by visiting with the Veterans Certifying Official.

The VA Regional Office in Boise, Idaho has brochures and manuals which outline benefits for veterans and their dependents such as disability, direct deposit, VA medical care, and other VA benefits. Veterans Affairs "benefit counselors" are also available to each veteran by phone through the VA Regional Office. The toll-free number is 1-800-827-1000 or you can write to the following address: 805 West Franklin Street Boise, Idaho 83702.
