Below you will find information and resources to assist related to college veterans programs.
The Student Veterans of America (SVA) have developed this useful guide for establishing a Vets Center on campus: http://www.studentveterans.org/resourcelibrary/documents/SVA%20-%20Veterans%20Center%20Handbook%20for%20Institutions.pdf
VA Benefits are no longer required in the Cal Grant need calculation. Here is a link to the memo from the California Student Aid Commission: http://www.csac.ca.gov/secured/operationmemos/2010/GOM%202010-23.pdf
Check out the website for Operation In Their Boots. On the website you can see moving documentaries by veterans themselves about their experiences and challenges, a glimpse of what it would be like to be "in their boots."
Read this story about a veteran in Maryland. We have student veterans on our colleges working through similar challenges.
