Veteran's Assistance

The veteran's office serves as a liaison between Bellevue Community college and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A representative is available to assist veterans and activate all veterans' educational benefits. A complete description of the educational benefits available to veterans (and their dependents, if applicable) can be obtained through the Department of Veteran's Affairs Web site at www.gibill.va.gov/

When initially applying for educational benefits, it is necessary to provide a certified copy of the veteran's DD-214 member 4 copy to the Veterans Office. The county can certify the DD-214 at no cost.

Educational benefits are also available to eligible members of the National Guard or Selected Reserves who currently have a commitment of 6 years (or greater). A notice of Basic Eligibility (or NOBE) needs to be requested from your unit and brought to the Veteran' Advisors Office to start the application process. If you have any eligibility questions, call a local Reserve or National Guard Unit or call the VA toll free at (800) 827-1000.

Tuition Assistance forms has to be signed by all parties and given to the Veteran's Advisor before the beginning of the quarter.

Bellevue Community College offers reduced tuition to those veterans who served in Southeast or Southwest Asia. It is necessary to provide a certified copy of your DD-214 Member 4 copy to the Veteran's Advisor. Continuing education classes are not covered under veterans' discount.
