Veterans Educational Benefits
The mission of the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Veterans Affairs Office is to assist servicemembers, veterans, and dependents in receiving entitled educational benefits and in achieving educational goals.

ENROLLMENT CERTIFICATION
The Veterans Affairs Office assists students with enrollment certifications for veterans’ educational benefits, entitled by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Information is available in the Veterans Affairs Office (located in the Student Services Center, SSC 101 Cubicle) on eligibility requirements, applications and forms, and updates on benefits for:

• Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty Educational Assistance Program
