Benefits
As a military-affiliated student you may be able to receive entitlement funding based upon your service obligation. At Northampton Community College the School Certifying Official will act as the liaison between you and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The SCO will certify your benefit in which you may be entitled to.
Please note:
VA Benefits will not be processed for courses which are not required for a student's program of study.
To maintain your eligibility for VA Education Benefits and Financial Aid, students must maintain good academic satisfactory progress. Satisfactory academic progress per federal guidelines in the categories of GPA (grade point average) and CR (completion rate). This means you must complete a minimum of 67% of all credits attempted and maintain a GPA of 2.0 or better.
