Education Support for Veterans and Their Families
No VA Benefits? No Problem.
If you or your family members have served but aren’t eligible for VA education benefits, you still have powerful options. Our program is here to help you return to school—with tuition coverage, funds for school supplies, and assistance for personal expenses—so you can focus on your future, not your finances.
- Little to No Tuition Costs
- Help with Books and Supplies
- Support for Everyday Living Costs
We believe every veteran and their family deserves access to education, regardless of benefit status. Whether you’re starting fresh or finishing a degree, we’re here to make the journey possible.
Your service matters. Your future does too. Let’s get started.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Veteran – Served at least one day in the military (any discharge status)
- Family Member – Spouse or children of veterans. Verification of relationship required
- King County Resident
- Household income cannot exceed 60% of the Area Median Income (chart)
- Not eligible for VA education benefits (GI Bill®, Dependents Education Assistance)
Thanks to a $1.2 million King County grant, the Bellevue College Veterans Resource Center will soon be able to provide case management and funding assistance to under-served student veterans.
Eligible students will receive regular one-on-one case management at Bellevue College, connections to community resources, wrap-around support services, and financial assistance — including up to 90% tuition coverage and additional support for other needs.
*This program receives funding from the King County Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy
