Veterans' Benefits
The Veterans’ Affairs Office assists veterans with the following services which are approved for benefits under the current GI Bills:
- Applying for their educational benefits
- Contacting the VA when benefit payments are delayed
- Securing tutorial assistance
- Assisting in transfer to other institutions
Applications for veterans’ educational benefits should be initiated through the Veterans’ Affairs Office in BH/SCA 111. Veterans should be prepared to provide a certified copy of their DD 214 and/or DD form 2384 (notice of basic eligibility) along with some personal history.
To receive advance payment, students must:
- Apply to the college and have a complete admissions file
- Contact the veterans’ coordinator at FVCC at least 90 days in advance of the semester for which they plan to register.
