| Massasoit Community College is approved for the training of veterans and their dependents. The College maintains an Office of Veterans Affairs located in the Financial Aid Office. Veterans are assisted in obtaining educational benefits, work study positions, tutorial help, and other services. Veterans or dependents eligible for assistance under the Veterans Administration programs should contact the Office of Veterans Affairs after they are matriculated (enrolled) into a degree program at Massasoit and are ready to register for their classes. Disabled veterans should note that the college campus is designed so that the physically disabled have access to facilities. |
| Veterans who qualify for the Montgomery G.I. Bill, either Chapter 106 (active) or Chapter 30 (discharged), must fill out a Veterans Information Sheet. Veterans applying for benefits for the first time must fill out an Application for Education Benefits (Form 22-1990) and provide a copy of their DD-214. Dependents and survivors applying for benefits for the first time must fill out an Application for Survivor's and Dependent's Educational Assistance (Form 22-5490). To find out if you qualify for any Federal Veterans Benefits, call the Veterans Administration, 1-800-827-1000. |
| In addition to their G.I. Bill benefits, some veterans may also qualify for the State Veterans Tuition Waiver Program. Anyone who is deemed a state eligible veteran and meets certain criteria can receive this waiver. This could include a state qualified veteran whose G.I. Bill benefits may have expired. This program does not include Reservists and National Guard. |
| For a copy of the State Veterans Waiver Program Guidelines, call the Office of Veterans Affairs at (508) 588-9100, ext. 1477. |
| Veterans and dependents are advised that they must be degree candidates in order for Massasoit Community College to certify their enrollment to the Veterans Administration. Degree candidacy is declared through the process of matriculation. They must also maintain proper academic progress (see Academic Good Standing and Progress Towards a Degree). |
