Education Benefits
RCSJ proudly supports active military and veterans with flexible programs, dedicated advisors, and education benefits designed to advance careers and achieve goals.
The United States Veterans Administration operates various education assistance programs for eligible veterans, war orphans, surviving spouse or child of any veteran killed while on duty with the Armed Forces, disabled veterans, dependents of a veteran with service-related total disability, and certain members of the selected reserve.
As a veteran or active service member you may qualify for the following:
- Chapter 33 (Post 9-11) if you have served 3 continuous years
- Chapter 1606 as a reservist (deployment translates to upgrade to Chapter 33 starting at 50 percent),
- Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehab if 20 percent incurred disability while serving)
- National Guard entitled to Tuition Waiver via Commanders Certificate. You may also qualify for Chapter 33 if deployed.
- Chapter 33 Transfer of Entitlement (TOT) if service member transfers the entitlement to a spouse and or child
- Chapter 35 Dependents Education Assistance (DEA) parent 100 percent disabled during service
- Tuition Assistance from the DOD for Active-Duty members. Service member must obtain permission from your Education Services Officer prior to enrolling at Rowan College South Jersey.
