Veteran Services is a liaison between Wenatchee Valley College and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We assist our military-connected students -- prior service military, active duty personnel, National Guardsmen, reservists, and family members -- with accessing VA education benefits, military tuition assistance, reduced tuition and fee waivers, and other college funding. We guide students through the application process, as well as provide referrals to other on campus and community resources. The office is located on the Wenatchee campus in Wenatchi Hall, room 2136. Additional guidelines and requirements for accessing and using benefits can be found at www.wvc.edu/veterans or by contacting Veteran Services at 509-682-6817 or veterans@wvc.edu.
Selected programs of study at WVC are approved by the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board’s State Approving Agency (WTECB/SAA) and the Washington Student Achievement Council’s State Approving Agency (WSAC/SAA) for enrollment of those eligible to receive benefits under Title 38 and Title 10, USC.
Schools should limit student enrollment to 85 percent veteran enrollment per program. In the event that a veteran wishes to enroll in a class that has already reached the 85 percent cap, he or she may do that but will not be eligible for VA funding. Chapter 35 and 31 students may still enroll even if the 85 percent has been realized. WVC does not and will not provide any commission, bonus or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on success in securing enrollment or financial aid to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting or admission activities or in making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.
