Dedicated Services for Our Military and Veteran Students

Supporting Our Nation’s Heroes with a Military-Friendly Academic Environment

Veterans Services administers various veterans’ and dependents’ educational assistance benefit programs of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for students attending this institution. The Veterans Success Center (VSC) staff are part of the Northwest Florida State College Office of Financial Aid, not the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).

In collaboration with VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC), our goal is to provide information and guidance about entitlements, filing claims to the DVA, certifying enrollments, and other supportive services for student veterans and eligible family members enrolled at Northwest Florida State College. We at the Veterans Success Center are here to serve you. Take full advantage of our expertise, and gain the most you can from this once-in-a-lifetime educational opportunity.

New students are highly encouraged to make their initial inquiries for VA educational benefits to the Veterans Success Center (Building 500) at the Niceville Main Campus.
