This depends on the school you are/will be attending. The time for the VA to process and pay tuition is not quick. Many of the schools do not want to wait for the payment and require the student to pay the tuition on time, then get reimbursed from the VA. On the VA education benefits website lists approved schools. If your school is on there, it lists the person who is working the VA benefits for the school. He/she will know and can give you accurate information specific for the school. Good luck.
