Veterans Education
Assistance Fund
Criteria and Application
The Veterans Education Assistance Fund is designed to provide critical financial support for men and women
who served as members of the U.S. Armed Forces and who have enrolled at Lake Michigan College. Priority in
selection for recipients is reserved for those who, because of special circumstances, need extra financial
support beyond that provided by the G.I. Bill.
The fund is intended to recognize that those who have so bravely served our country, often have limited
resources, minimal support and are in financial stress particularly during the transition from active duty to
civilian life. The Veterans Education Assistance Fund is intended to provide a safety net to veterans continuing
their education at Lake Michigan College, meeting their unique needs and assisting them to complete their
chosen academic programs.
Students who are in need of financial assistance may submit an application and supporting documentation to the
office of the Dean, Student Affairs. Funds are distributed with an average range of $50 to $1500. Applicants
may be required to meet with the Dean of Student Affairs to discuss their application.
The number of students who can be served by the Veterans Education Assistance Fund is subject to the
availability of funds. The fund is sustained by continual contributions from students, alumni, parents, faculty,
staff and friends of the College. Those who benefit from the fund are encouraged to contribute to the fund, once
their education is complete, assisting those who may face similar struggles.
Financial assistance may be provided from the fund for the following:
• Tuition not covered by other forms of assistance
• Temporary coverage for late benefits
• Books and other essential academic necessities not covered by other forms of assistance
• Costs associated with tutoring or other counseling and assistance.
• Items that may assist in accommodating a disability
• Unanticipated transportation and living expenses that may be barriers to educational success.

• Student must be an honorably discharged veteran, currently serving in the armed forces or reserves, or a

• Must be a student in good standing as defined by Financial Aid at the beginning of the semester
• Must have no other overdue debt to the College
• Must be an in-district resident
• U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• Student can receive funding once per academic year with a lifetime cap of 2 disbursements.
The maximum Veterans Education Assistance Fund award is $1500. Lake Michigan College retains the right to determine
the amount that each individual may receive.

If you are unsure of the answers to the following questions, please have a conversation with the student to
determine the answer. These questions are based on eligibility guidelines, and also include basic information
that the recommending person should take into consideration before recommending a student for SSF/VEAF.
Please do not refer students to the office of the Dean, Student Affairs for “more information” about SSF/VEAF
without reviewing these general guidelines for eligibility. Mentioning the fund should not be considered a way
to appease a student or pass students off. Students often rely on this money as a certainty; if a student is denied
after being told this was a viable option this may cause financial strain and added stress. Students applications
should be accompanied by a staff referral (often, the referring person knows more about the student and
student’s background or has a better relationship with the student than the DSA Office). Students caught in this
loop between the DSA Office and the referring staff often feel frustrated, and sometimes embarrassed, so please
consider this before sending a student to the DSA Office. The DSA Office reviews & approves the referral after
it has been completed. If you have questions about the process, please contact the DSA Office directly rather
than sending the student on your behalf. Thank you.
