FSCC cannot determine eligibility for VA benefits, cannot advise on VA benefits, nor determine the amount of assistance. Please speak with your Education Service Officer (ESO) or counselor within the Military Service prior to enrolling or for questions regarding benefits.
- To apply for VA Education Benefits complete the online application HERE. Follow the step by step instructions to submit the application. Once the application has been approved by the VA, the service beneficiary will receive the Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Submit the COE and a copy of the DD214 to the School Certifying Official in the Financial Aid Office. All documentation must be submitted before certification for courses can occur. Forms may be mailed, scanned and emailed, or faxed to the FSCC Financial Aid Office. SORRY, NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Apply for admission and enroll in classes at FSCC, and complete the Request for Enrollment Form by clicking HERE. Only VA approved courses required for certificate or degree programs will qualify for payment with VA Educational Benefits.
- Veterans are paid according to the number of credits in which they are enrolled and the length of term and/or course. The student must email the SCO immediately when a class is added or dropped. Failure to notify the SCO could create an overpayment which the student would be responsible for paying back.
- Students receiving VA Education Benefits may also receive federal financial aid. To apply for federal financial aid go to studentaid.gov. Once you have submitted your application and the school has received it you will be awarded federal aid based on the amount you qualify for.
FSCC will verify the total credit hours enrolled and cost for tuition/fees. Forms may be personally delivered, mailed, scanned and emailed, or faxed to the FSCC Financial Aid Office at the following:
