The Veterans Services Office at Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) helps military veterans and the dependents of disabled or deceased veterans apply for educational benefits. The office also helps with tutoring and academic and career counseling.
Although the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must determine an individual’s eligibility for benefits, the PGCC Veterans Services Office provides guidance and the appropriate applications for educational benefits.
Veterans Services is responsible for certifying veteran enrollment status to the VA, which is how beneficiaries are paid. The VA does not cover the cost of continuing education courses, audited courses, or courses that do not count toward an individual’s course of study.
Prince George’s Community College is approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
