Veterans Services

With the goal of being known as "America's Most Veteran-Friendly State," Virginia provides many unique state benefits to supplement and expand on federal benefits for military families. These benefits are available to you at Southside Virginia Community College.

The Financial Aid office provides information and applications for VA educational benefits to veterans, reservists, and eligible dependents. The office certifies students with confirmed VA eligibility who notify us of their registration for classes at SVCC.

We encourage veterans to contact SVCC's Veterans Affairs Coordinator or the SVCC Admissions Office.
