Veterans Educational Benefits

Charlotte Tech Welcomes Our Veterans

Our office will assist veterans, or the dependents of veterans, with the application process. If you are using benefits for the first time, you must file an application with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
 

GENERAL INFORMATION
Many programs are approved for Veterans Education Benefits. Eligible veterans may be certified for Veterans Education benefits through the Financial Aid Office.
 

The Bureau of State Approving Agency for Veteran Training has approved many of the certificate training programs offered at Charlotte Technical College. All required application forms are available in the Financial Aid Office.
 

Once the veteran has completed Charlotte Technical's online application and taken the required test for the program of interest, the veteran will need to file an application through the Veterans Affairs to use their education benefits on the VA education and training website. Once the VA application is completed and you receive your Certificate of Eligibility please call 941-255-7500 ext. 1729 to make an appointment with the Financial Aid Office.  
The following documents are required to be submitted to the Financial Aid Office at the time of your appointment:
 
* A certified copy of the Member 4 DD214 form
*Government-issued photo ID
*Official Post-Secondary Transcripts (if applicable)
*Official Military Transcripts - can be requested at JST DODED MIL
*VA Certificate of Eligibility
 
Upon the completion of the drop/add period, the enrollment certification is reported by the VA Certifying Official to the DVA for processing.   It takes DVA a minimum of 4-8 weeks to activate benefits.
 

All students receiving Veterans’ Educational Benefits must maintain satisfactory progress in accordance with regularly prescribed standards and policies of Charlotte Tech. Specific details of the Standards of Progress and Attendance, as well as other information about VA benefits, are listed in Charlotte Tech’s student handbook.
