Eligibility for VA educational benefits are determined by the US Department of Veterans Affairs in St. Louis, MO. Forms may be obtained online at www.gibill.va.gov or in Room 107 of the Anderson Technical Building. Students eligible to receive VA educational benefits must submit a copy of their schedule to the Veterans Coordinator in the Financial Aid Office. Any change in your program or schedule must be promptly reported.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has made funds available for Veteran students who are still awaiting their education benefit claim to be processed. Eligible veterans can receive up to a $3000 advance, which will be recouped from future benefit payments. If you are a student who applied for one of VA's education programs and have not yet received your monthly benefit payment for the Fall 2009 term, you can request a one-time advance payment at your local VA Regional Office or through VA's website, www.va.gov.
This program is an educational benefit provided for children, step-children, adopted children, spouses, and un-remarried widows and widowers in recognition of military service of certain disabled or deceased Kentucky veterans. Additional information about this program and the application process is available at Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs.
WKCTC is required to evaluate prior educational training and experience. This includes military training and experience received while on active duty and any coursework taken at educational institutions even if the coursework was not paid for with VA benefits.
