Financial Aid

What else does the FAO offer?

Veteran's Benefits (VA):

Are awarded/certified on the basis of Veterans Administration eligibility criteria. Most VA benefits are established based on the veteran's participation/contribution to the program while on active duty. Additionally, Texas Veterans who have no remaining VA education benefits, may qualify for the Hazlewood Act. For more information, pick up a Trifold pamphlet in the Financial Aid office, or call the VA Representative at (972) 238-6935. Visit the Veteran's Affairs website.
