TCC Military Cultural Awareness Center
Did you know that one in every three TCC students is associated with the U.S. military?
In 2012-13, TCC served nearly 14,700 military-related students - 6,716 veterans, 2,125 active duty service members, and 5,850 self-identified military family members.
To help TCC faculty and staff better serve the needs of our military-related students, TCC's Center for Military and Veterans Education has developed the Military Cultural Awareness Center. This Blackboard-based center will function as a virtual source of information regarding TCC's military-related students (active duty, reserve, National Guard, veterans, and their families).
Featured topics and resources include:
- Military Culture
- Military Special Populations and Best Practices
- Military Academic Programs and Services
- Military Education Funding Opportunities and Challenges
- Military Terms and Acronyms
- Community Resources
- Discussion Boards
Just one more way the CMVE is helping make TCC the most military-friendly college in Hampton Roads!
Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program - Online Application Now Available
The Military Survivors and Dependents Program (MSDEP) provides education benefits to spouses and children of military service members killed, missing in action, taken prisoner, or who became at least 90 percent disabled as a result of military service in an armed conflict.
This program may pay for tuition and fees at any state-supported college or university. This program waives tuition and fees in Virginia. Benefits are available for up to four years.
Eligibility Requirements:
- The child must be between ages 16 and 29; There are no age restrictions for spouses.
- The military service member is and must have been a Virginia citizen at the time he or she entered active duty or must have been a Virginia citizen for at least five years immediately prior to the date of the application for admission.
- In the case of a deceased military service member the veteran's surviving spouse can meet the residency requirements if he or she lived in Virginia for at least five years prior to marrying the military service member or has been a citizen of Virginia for at least five years immediately prior to the date of application.
Required Documentation:
- In most cases, eligibility will be determined using documentation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. However, the veteran or surviving spouse may be asked to provide documentation verifying residency or the applicant's age or relationship.
- State income tax records, birth certificates, and/or marriage certificates are usually sufficient.
