退伍军人 Education Benefits
VA paying for school
Pima recognizes the sacrifice of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. As a veteran, service member or qualified family member, you may be eligible for educational benefits to further your goals.
PCC is approved by the Department of 退伍军人 Affairs as a degree-granting institution for VA Education Benefits.
Yellow Ribbon Program
As of August 1st, 2020, Pima Community College is a Yellow Ribbon School. Only individuals approved for Chapter 33 100% benefit level may receive funding.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays in-state tuition and fee charges at public schools. Out of state students may receive additional funds to help cover the unmet costs of out-of-state tuition under the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Applications are submitted automatically when you submit your Certification Worksheet based on your residency and Post 9/11 GI Bill® status.
