Situation

At Palomar College the projected annual cost for tuition, books, living expenses, transportation and other essentials for a full time student is $14,500. Veterans returning to our campus are receiving approximately 65% or less (if a Reservist) of the needed financial support.  And the percentage of support will decline further when costs increase as students transfer to public or private four-year institutions.

These factors have created a situation where many veterans who want to go to a college or technical school cannot get the assistance they need. It is for these heroes, who honorably served our nation that the ‘Education for Heroes Fund’ exists.  The Fund will help bridge the benefits gap for as many individuals as possible. The fund will provide support for these veterans and insure they have the financial wherewithal to achieve their educational goals.  (Click here to read more)
