Veterans and their family members may be entitled to receive benefits from the Veterans Administration to help pay for college
costs. In order to receive benefits at NSCC veteran students must:
1. Be accepted into a credit degree or certificate program.
2. Should read, you need to provide proof of VA Education benefits, with a Certificate of Eligibility or a printout of your benefits from ebenefits. If you have not yet applied for your benefits you can apply using VONAPP at
https://www.vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/default.asp or through your ebenefits account at
www.ebenefits.va.gov/ebenefits/homepage.
3. Provide NSCC Veterans Services with a copy of your completed education benefits application along with a copy of the “long form”
DD214 member 4.
4. If you are in the Massachusetts National Guard, provide Veterans Services with a Certificate of Eligibility for each semester.
5. For active duty members, provide Veterans Services with Tuition Assistance paperwork.
6. For Army reservists, first set up an account with GoArmyEd at
www.goarmyed.com and then provide Veterans Services at NSCC
with a Certificate of Eligibility.
A Veterans Waiver is applied against State Tuition charges and can only be used for Day or Evening credit courses. In order to use this
waiver, you must provide the “long form” DD214 and the discharge conditions must not be dishonorable. Once approved for benefits
students must complete the Certification Request Form on the NSCC Veterans page each semester after registering for classes.
