VA Form 22-10275: Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions
VA Form 22-10275 is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions agreement. It is a school form, not a student or Veteran application.

By initialing, signing and submitting the form, the institution agrees to the eight provisions in Items 1 to 8.
The PDF has three pages: the agreement and its eight items, the list of participating locations, contacts and the authorizing official's signature, then the instructions. VA's page says you can also apply online. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
