Search 38 U.S.C. § 3471 : US Code - Section 3471: Applications; approval

Any eligible veteran, or any person on active duty (after
consultation with the appropriate service education officer), who
desires to initiate a program of education under this chapter shall
submit an application to the Secretary which shall be in such form,
and contain such information, as the Secretary shall prescribe. The
Secretary shall approve such application unless the Secretary finds
that (1) such veteran or person is not eligible for or entitled to
the educational assistance for which application is made, (2) the
veteran's or person's selected educational institution or training
establishment fails to meet any requirement of this chapter or
chapter 36 of this title, (3) the veteran's or person's enrollment
in, or pursuit of, the program of education selected would violate
any provision of this chapter or chapter 36 of this title, or (4)
the veteran or person is already qualified, by reason of previous
education or training, for the educational, professional, or
vocational objective for which the program of education is offered.
The Secretary shall not treat a person as already qualified for the
objective of a program of education offered by a qualified provider
of entrepreneurship courses solely because such person is the owner
or operator of a business. The Secretary shall notify the veteran
or person of the approval or disapproval of the veteran's or
person's application.
