Veteran Services

Lewis-Clark State College guides Veterans and their dependents through the steps of admission, signing up to use GI Bill® benefits, requesting military transcripts and certifying classes through the VA process. Veteran Services staff work with students on their progress toward their degree goals by monitoring class registrations and grades received through graduation. Computer labs, advocacy and mentoring are other areas of support through the Veteran Resource Center which is located in Reid Centennial Hall (RCH) Room 21. For more information contact the Coordinator of Veterans’ Resources via phone 208-792-2473, RCH 23, or email veterans@lcsc.edu

Lewis-Clark State College does not provide commission, bonus, or incentive payments to active-duty service personnel for any purpose including recruitment and/or retention.  Lewis-Clark State College does not selectively recruit or induce enrollment of service members or utilize high-pressure recruitment tactics in order to secure federal tuition assistance from military personnel.

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
