Applying for VA Educational Benefits

Students interested in beginning or changing their VA Educational benefits will need to login to the Veterans Administration website at  https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/  

Once the application process has been completed the VA will issue and send a Certificate of Eligibility to the students which provides an outline of eligibility and benefits.

In addition the https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/ webpage provides the ability to check eligibility and a GI Bill Comparison Tool.

Note: Students do not have to wait for the receipt of the Certificate of Eligibility to begin using their VA benefits at Stanly Community College; however, they must complete the Declaration of VA Benefits at SCC form (available under Military Services - VA Forms) so that the required information can be ascertained.

Please contact the SCC Certifying officials located in the Financial Aid Office at 704-991-0302 with any questions and/or concerns.
