Veterans, Military and Dependents
We're Here To Help!
Our office is staffed by full-time college employees and VA Work-Study students whose mission is to assist you while at WKCTC. We can help you with VA forms and act as a liaison between you and the VA Regional Offices to answer questions and solve problems. WKCTC Veterans Office is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
The Veterans office can help you with your application for admission to WKCTC and
with your application for VA education benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs.
You should contact the Veterans office at least 60 days prior to your anticipated starting date to allow for processing
time by WKCTC and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
