Veterans
CVCC is an excellent choice for military service members, veterans, and their spouses and independents. We are proud to help coordinate VA Benefits with the student's educational goals.
Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits
CVCC is approved for Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits. Any student wishing to use VA Benefits should contact Erin Conway, CVCC VA Certifying Official, to determine if your program of study is approved.
How to Apply for VA Educational Benefits
VA Educational Benefits Checklist (PDF)
- Students must qualify to receive VA Educational Benefits. Eligibility is determined by Veterans Affairs, not CVCC.
- Visit the VA Education and Training website to apply for benefits. The VA will provide students with a Certificate of Eligibility.
- CVCC has no control of VA policy and rulings. It is the student's responsibility to comply with VA rules and procedures covered in appropriate laws, regulations, and pamphlets.
- If you are a new student who wishes to use VA Benefits, find a full ist of instructions on the VA Educational Venefits Checklist. No certification can be made until all these requirements are met.
- VA students are responsible for the payment of tuition, fees, and books at registration. Only Chapter 33 students may defer tuition and fees by completing a tuition waiver each semester.
- VA payments are made directly to students after classes have begun. VA students are encouraged to apply for Federal Financial Aid.
Reach out to our CVCC VA Certifying Official to dertermine if your Continuing Education program is approved.
