Veteran Education Benefits
CalSouthern is committed to helping our nation’s veterans develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed and advance in today’s workforce. We offer continuously updated, career-relevant degrees, and provide veterans with a dedicated support team led by a military advisor specially trained in the unique issues and challenges faced by military and veteran students.
In addition to waiving the application fee and offering discounted tuition to veterans and their spouses and dependents, CalSouthern is authorized to accept educational benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs Chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 1606 and 1607.
