You can qualify for services if you are a :
• WWII or Korean veteran or surviving spouse of one

Available benefits are primarily from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), but Veterans Services also assists in obtaining earned veterans’ benefits from the State of California and local government entities.
Veterans Services is also responsible for administering the College Fee Waiver Program for Veterans’ Dependents. This program is afforded to spouses, unmarried surviving spouses, and children of service-connected disabled or service related deceased veterans. Eligible dependents are not required to pay “mandatory system wide” tuition and fees while attending either a California community college, a campus of the California State University (Cal State) system, or a campus of the University of California (UC) system. This program not only provides eligible dependents with the incentive, but also the opportunity, to pursue their goals.
