Funds may be
available to those who have served in the armed forces
as well as to dependents of deceased veterans or
disabled veterans with a service-connected disability.
The College cooperates with the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs and the North Carolina Department of
Veterans Affairs to assist veterans in securing their
educational benefits. Veterans are provided admissions
counseling and guidance in the selection of an
educational program. Eligible spouses, widows, and
children of disabled or deceased veterans also are
provided assistance.
For
information and application forms, students should
contact the Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs Coordinator
on the main campus in Supply or on the web at
www.va.gov.
When a veteran enrolls in an approved course, he or she
must pursue the curriculum listed in the College Catalog
and maintain satisfactory academic progress, attendance,
and conduct for continuing eligibility for payments.
Veterans who do not maintain the standards cited under
the academic progress provision of this catalog are
placed on academic probation. Benefits are payable for
the probationary semester subsequent to non-probationary
semesters. At the end of each semester, the cumulative
grade point averages of students are reviewed to
determine if they are in compliance with the academic
progress provision. Upon formal application to the
College Financial Aid Office, students who have
re-established compliance with the provisions on
academic progress and probation can be certified.
To Earn Certificates:
All certifications are subject to the basic
eligibility criteria of the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Department of Veterans Affairs payments are
based on an individual's classification according to
his/her credit hours per semester.
Full Time---12 or more credit hours
¾ Time---9-11 credit hours
½ Time---6-8 credit hours
Eligible
students must inform the Coordinator, Financial Aid/VA
of their intentions to claim Department of Veterans
Affairs educational benefits during the registration
period for each semester that they plan to claim
benefits. For more information, contact the Coordinator
of Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs.
