College Application Assistance
Sentara Health Plans cares about your education. That is why our Medicaid added benefits help cover the cost of your application. You send us your receipt, and we will send you a gift card up to $75 to pay you back. Vocational schools and apprenticeship programs are also included.
How it Works
Expand all accordion items
- One application to a two- or four-year college, vocational school, or apprenticeship program
- Up to $75 of the single application fee
- Only one application within a 12-month period per member
- Must be a Sentara Community Plans member at the time of application payment
- Must have a high school diploma or GED diploma
The member would pay the cost to apply, and then submit proof of payment for reimbursement.

- Receipt should show the applicant’s name, date of payment, confirmation/receipt number, and the name of the college, vocational school, or apprenticeship program
- Payment must be dated within the last 12 months

Once we receive and verify your proof of payment, we will email you how to claim your gift card reward. If you choose an e-gift card, it will be emailed to you right way. It takes three to five workdays to mail you a regular gift card.
You can choose an electronic or regular gift card from hundreds of top brands. You can select more than one gift card, as long as the total for all cards equals the amount of the payment receipt submitted. Gift cards cannot be used to purchase tobacco or alcohol.
No, sorry. Cash reimbursement is not an option.
