Ok so apparently w/ the AF scholarship..in order to get your books reimbursed you have to submit a letter from the instructor of each class. My question is...who do these instructors make the letter out to? is it just a blank "to whom it may concern"..or do they make it out simply to AFIT...I want to get this stuff done b/c classes are starting to get heavy. Thanks guys

Just get a letter from the dean of students that lists all books required for the semester/quarter with his/her signature on it. That's how I did it all last year. You send this letter in with your form 31. To whom it may concern works just fine.

You don't need a signed letter from the dean for each book. I submitted the reimbursement form and a copy of the page of the syllabus that stated the book was required. It does not need to be signed by the prof. The only time you need something signed is if a book is "recommended". I used to get the prof sign the syllabus stating that he "highly recommends" the book. I bought these books, and the AF paid for them. I didn't do it for all recommended books, just the ones the prof said he "highly recommended". Attach you recipt.

so they don't care if you get the same book on half.com for $15 or $150 at your school's bookstore? How does the reimbursement for laptop work? are we allowed to add accessories like external monitor, all in one printer etc?

That's right the US Government doesn't care how much you pay for the books. So pick them up at the bookstore, unless you want to be a good taxpayer.

It's worth having a good copy of many of the textbooks, they do come in handy after you graduate as references.

Laptops may or may not be reimbursed, so check with the HPSP folks, even if they pay for the laptop they probably won't cover any accessories.

They don't care where you get the book, you just have to submit the form 31, the EFT form, the receipt for payment and the syllabus with the required book listed. I was told last year that laptops were not reimbursable. Also, shipping and taxes are not reimbursable, as well as things considered "office supplies", like a glue gun and compass for prosth class.

What is the EFT form? Is it located online somewhere? I thought we were just supposed to send in a voided check or deposit form.
