Ashford University has received the Department of Veterans Affairs’ stamp of approval to continue enrolling GI Bill students long-term.

The announcement comes after a tumultuous summer for the online for-profit school, which was, at one time, scheduled to lose its eligibility to receive VA funds in August after losing its state-level approval in Iowa. Ashford then sought approval in Arizona and was permitted to continue enrolling veteran students for the new school year, pending approval from VA.
