Who We Are
The Veteran Activities, Learning, Outreach & Resources (VALOR) Center is dedicated to helping students who have served and their families navigate college.
The VALOR Center is here to:
- Assist you throughout your education benefits application process;
- Notify you of enrollment and enrollment changes to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); and
- Help interpret, explain, and implement VA policies and college regulations.
SPSCC supports service members seeking information on the Tuition Assistance Program, Title IV funding, VA Education benefits, and those seeking information on academic counseling, financial aid counseling, job search support, or other student support services.
Who We Serve
The VALOR Center is a dedicated resource hub that supports veterans, active duty service members, National Guard, reservists, and military-affiliated students. The center provides guidance on VA education benefits, including Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E), formerly called VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Chapter 31), GI Bill® (Chapter 33) for veterans and transferred entitlements, and Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) (Chapter 35). We assist students with certification and obtaining the required documentation.
In addition to VA benefit support, the VALOR Center offers individualized advising, connections to campus and community resources, and assistance with funding options such as grants, scholarships, and emergency support. The center fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment where veterans and military-affiliated students can access academic support, build community, and successfully transition to and persist through college.
Students can connect with the VALOR Center by visiting the space in Building 22 or by using the Navigate360 “Raise Your Hand” feature for assistance.
