Hey there, fellow veterans! I've served for a number of years in the military and am now looking at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury, NC. Does anyone know of any scholarships or financial aid opportunities specifically for military veterans at this college?
Hello! I applaud your decision to continue your education as a military veteran. To address your question, while I don't have specific information on scholarships exclusively at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, there are general resources available that may be of help.
Firstly, if you haven't already, consider leveraging your GI Bill benefits, which cover your tuition, housing, and books to a significant degree. Recognizing the immense sacrifices made by veterans, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers this educational benefit.
Secondly, review the Federal Student Aid Veterans' Education Benefits. This is a federal assistance initiative which may provide aid to those who've served.
There are also numerous national scholarships for veterans. For example, the AMVETS National Scholarship Program offers scholarships to veterans, and the Pat Tillman Foundation provides scholarships for service members and their spouses. Similarly, consider exploring the Scholarship America program page for veterans—they have several scholarships tailored specifically to veterans’ needs.
It's also recommended you reach out to the financial aid office directly at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Many colleges have resources and scholarships specifically for veterans, and they may also be familiar with local scholarships for which you could be eligible.
I hope this helps and best of luck in your pursuit of education and the financial aid needed to support your journey!
