You've served your country. Now let us serve you!
We provide assistance to veterans.
While primarily focused on education benefits, we also provide assistance to student veterans and community residents for any benefits available from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
If you are a veteran, dependent of a deceased or disabled veteran, or active duty military member, you may be eligible to receive monthly educational assistance from the Veterans Administration while enrolled at RCBC.
