Community Colleges of Spokane complies with the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 by providing in-state tuition for eligible veterans and their dependents. A veteran tuition waiver of 20% may be available to qualifying students. A Washington State tuition and fee waiver may be available for eligible spouses and dependents of military personnel who were killed or permanently disabled while engaged in active military service.

The VA will pay solely for classes required for graduation in the student's selected field of study. Students are responsible for tuition and fees for courses not required for their degree, where credit has already been earned from a prior school or where credit has been awarded from Academic Credit for Prior Learning (ACPL), Advanced Placement, or challenge exams. Students must consult with their advisor and veteran's coordinator to make certain the courses they take fit in with their educational plan. For more information, refer to www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Students must make satisfactory progress toward their degree by maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA. See the Academic Standards Policy section of the Catalog for more information.

Selected programs of study at SCC and SFCC are approved by the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board’s State Approving Agency (WTECB/SAA) for enrollment of those eligible to receive benefits under Title 38 and Title 10, USC.

The institution must limit enrollment to 85% Veteran enrollment for each separately approved educational or vocational objective. In the event that a Veteran wishes to enroll in a program that has already reached the 85% cap, they may do that, but will not be eligible for VA funding. Please note that Chapter 35 and 31 VA funded students may still enroll even if the 85 percent cap has been realized.

Community Colleges of Spokane (SCC and SFCC) does not and will not provide any commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on success in securing enrollment or financial aid to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting or admissions activities or in making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.
