Veterans Benefits

Aid for those who served our country

There is considerable financial aid available to veterans and their families through the GI Bill, War Orphans Educational Law, and other programs. Widows and children of deceased veterans as well as spouses and children of totally disabled veterans are eligible for educational benefits. Further information can be secured from the local Veterans Administration Office.

Students eligible to receive veterans benefits should contact the Registrar’s Office to certify enrollment to the Veterans Administration. Those expecting government checks are reminded that this aid may not be available for two to three months at the beginning of the fall semester. All students receiving benefits through the VA are required to maintain 12 units per semester to receive the maximum monthly benefit.
