Do Roseman University’s Nursing Programs Accept GI Bill® Benefits?

Yes. Roseman University’s nursing programs, including the ABSN program, accept GI Bill® benefits for eligible veterans and their qualified family members. Students who are formally admitted may use their GI Bill® benefits toward tuition and approved educational expenses.

Because Roseman uses a block schedule rather than a traditional semester structure, VA benefit certification and tuition disbursement may differ from other institutions. Veterans and eligible family members are encouraged to connect early with Roseman to understand how benefits apply and to plan for any potential out-of-pocket costs.

How VA Benefits Work at Roseman

If you have used VA benefits at institutions that disbursed tuition in one lump sum per term, Roseman’s process may feel different.

Roseman operates on a block schedule, which means there are multiple start and end dates throughout the year. Because of this, tuition and fees are typically:

  • Calculated by credit hour
  • Certified and disbursed per block, rather than per semester
  • Released after confirming attendance at the start of the block to avoid creating debt

Important planning note: If you are approved for Chapter 33 benefits at the 100% level, these benefits can provide substantial support toward your education at Roseman. We encourage students to review their individual benefit eligibility and explore available resources to help plan for the full cost of their program.

Connect with admissions and student services early for more information to ensure Roseman is the right fit for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can help me understand how my VA benefits apply at Roseman?

Roseman’s School Certifying Official (SCO) assists veterans and eligible family members with VA benefit certification and documentation. Students are encouraged to connect early to understand how benefits apply within Roseman’s block-based academic schedule.

Does Roseman participate in the Yellow Ribbon program?

No. However, because our program is accelerated (under 18 months), many students find they can maximize their existing 36 months of eligibility to cover a significant portion of their education.

Can military spouses use GI Bill® benefits for the ABSN program?

Eligible military spouses and dependents may be able to use transferred GI Bill® benefits once formally admitted to a program at Roseman. Benefit eligibility and coverage vary, so students are encouraged to confirm details with Roseman’s School Certifying Official.

Will my military training or coursework transfer into the ABSN program?

Military JST transcripts may be reviewed as part of the admissions process. Transfer credit decisions depend on prior coursework, program requirements, and accreditation standards.

Where are the in-person labs and clinicals held?

In-person labs take place at Roseman’s Henderson, Nevada or South Jordan, Utah campus, while clinical rotations are held at affiliated healthcare facilities near each campus.

Do I need to relocate to Nevada or Utah to enroll?

Not necessarily. Students complete coursework online and attend in-person labs and clinicals in either Southern Nevada or Utah. You’ll need to be within commuting distance of one of those regions during required in-person sessions.

What happens after I graduate from Roseman’s ABSN program?

Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. Roseman’s graduates consistently outperform national NCLEX averages and enjoy strong job placement, with nearly 97% employed within 6 months.
