Educational Benefits for Veterans
Texas State Technical College (TSTC) proudly continues to serve the men and women who have served in the armed forces and their dependents by helping facilitate a transition into civilian life as a student.
TSTC works closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Texas Veterans Commission to provide approved training to eligible veterans and their dependents. Veterans and active service members can qualify for more than one benefit program and all veterans and active service members are encouraged to apply for these educational benefits.
