VA supports self-employment and other entrepreneurial endeavors as viable paths to achieving meaningful employment. However, students should explore all possible employment prospects and opportunities.

Promotion in Current Position

Promotion in Current Position:
• Must be a monetary promotion. A promotion is NOT simply a job title change without an increase in salary. A natural progression in pay is also not considered a promotion.
• In lieu of an offer letter, this package must also include consecutive pay stubs. The first from the previous position, and a pay stub under the new position clearly showing the monetary promotion.

Self-Employment

Self-Employment:
• Proof of ownership of the business: These can include a Federal Tax ID Number (EIN); Articles of Organization, or Articles of Incorporation; copy of personal tax return with Schedule C; a copy of the Doing Business As (DBA) declarations, etc. It may also include a state tax ID Number or state business registration information.
• Copies of any valid personal licenses/certifications required for business operations (if applicable).
• Proof of legitimate business transactions: A bill and payment from a client that displays the type of services being provided and/or products sold. To avoid conflict of interest, this proof of business transaction should not be between the self-employed Veteran and their training provider.​

• Be prepared to explain "expansion in scope level of services" and write a "letter explaining how the business grew".
