The Texas Hazlewood Act for Veterans

printer Printer Friendly Version

Veterans of World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam, and the Cold War who have no remaining federal educational benefits are eligible for Hazlewood Act benefits if they were residents of Texas at the time they entered the armed forces, are now residents, and have an honorable discharge from the service.

To qualify for benefits under the Hazlewood Act, the veteran must file a request with the office of Financial Aid  at Wharton County Junior College. Items to be filed are a certified or photo static copy of discharge papers and an affidavit from the Veterans Administration certifying that the veteran is no longer eligible for VA benefits.

Students eligible for this benefit should contact the Director of Financial Aid (979) 532-6345 prior to enrolling for classes.
