Are you unsure about which Veteran 教育 Benefit 项目 you are eligible to receive?
While you complete the specified admissions requirements to register for your classes, we encourage all active-duty military personnel, 退伍军人, and their dependents to seek guidance from the United States Department of 退伍军人 Affairs and the 退伍军人 Resource Center on possibly applying for VA 教育 Benefits.
不幸的是, schools cannot automatically determine a student’s eligibility for VA Benefits, as we do not have access to the Active Duty Service Member or Veteran’s military service file. 请给美国打电话。.S. Department of 退伍军人 Affairs 教育 Office at at 1-888-442-4551 for more information. If you are eligible to apply for your education benefits, please click on the 应用ing for VA Benefits page to begin the process for the School Certifying Official to certify you for your benefits.
Here at the 退伍军人 Resource Center and the Technical College of the Lowcountry, we are able to give students a general breakdown of the current VA 教育 Benefit 项目 that you may be eligible to receive. Please note that students can only use one benefit at a time, even if they qualify for more than one Veteran Affairs 教育 Benefit program.
