A veterans education benefit specialist is located on the Wenatchee campus to assist veterans attending both the Wenatchee campus and the Omak campus with obtaining VA Education Benefits.
The main function of the veterans affairs office is to assist veterans/dependents with the application process and to monitor usage of education benefits for compliance with Department of Veterans Affairs policies and procedures.
If you are a veteran, have served or are currently serving in the military, are the spouse or child of a veteran, and are seeking eligibility for benefits, contact the WVC Veteran office. The office is located on the Wenatchee campus in Wenatchi Hall First Floor Rm 2136. Reduced tuition and fee waivers are available for eligible veterans, military service members and dependents.
The veteran office serves as a liaison between WVC and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. A representative is available to assist veterans and dependents with activating
VA educational benefits, as well as provide information and additional school funding and community resources. Individuals using VA educational benefits must submit their class schedule to the WVC Veterans office each quarter. WVC at Omak students may submit schedules and other documents to the WVC at Omak student services office. Additional guidelines and requirements for accessing and using benefits can be found at www.wvc.edu/ veterans.
Selected programs of study at WVC are approved by the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board’s State Approving Agency (WTECB/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 cohort. 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.
