Howard Community College is particularly concerned with the academic, career and personal advancement of men and women who are veterans of the United States Armed Forces and their dependents. Veterans benefits are administered through RRVA. The office assists veterans, active duty military, and reservists. It also assists the dependents of veterans and active duty service members.
Services include working with qualified students to initiate processes necessary to activate and maintain their education benefits, arrange participation in HCC’s Veterans Deferred Payment Plan (see Payment Assitance) and tutorial services (in addition to tutorial services the college provides to all students). Veterans Affairs staff also facilitates access to other college services such as academic advising, financial assistance (including financial aid, scholarships and work-study; financial literacy), disability support services, personal and career counseling.
