The OSF School of Histotechnology is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Educational Benefits. A veteran (having served over 181 days of continuous active duty) may be eligible for federal monthly benefits depending upon dependency status and hours of enrollment. Veterans may also be eligible for payment of tuition and fees at state-supported colleges and universities only. Veterans are encouraged to check with their local V.A. office and/or the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs for further information.

Refunds

Application and registration fees are non-refundable. Tuition refunds will be made for withdrawals within the first four weeks of school, and only after an official letter of withdrawal has been filed with the program director. Tuition will not be refunded to students dismissed from the program for academic or disciplinary reasons.
