A funding request is a request for "initial" funding from your education benefits program. When approved, this provides you insight on the amount of education benefits funding you will receive when you complete your course(s) and meet all policy requirements.
A detailed tuition breakout or invoice is required as documentation to support your funding request. Typically, this can be found through your school's student portal.
