Welcome!

The Office of Veteran and Military Resources (VMR) provides services for veterans, current service members, and their dependents who are enrolled at Bronx Community College.

From the college application all the way to graduation. We introduce student-veterans to the resources they need to be successful.

We not only connect student-veterans with other veterans attending the Bronx Community College and the greater veteran community, but also help them integrate with the rest of the student and civilian population.

The VMR provides student-veterans with a lounge:

The Bronx Community College Veterans Lounge is located in the Loew hall building, room 319. We will open Monday through Friday 0800 until 1700.

All veterans are encouraged to use the veterans’ lounge and the resources available there. We have computers for use, printer with paper, a refrigerator, a microwave, space to do work, and comfortable seats to watch the Smart Board. Here you can relax, study, and grab a cup of coffee.

The Veterans Certifying Official is located in the Loew hall building room 326. This Certifying Official has the delegated authority to sign enrollment certifications, and other certification documents and reports relating to veterans and their dependents who are eligible for VA education benefits.

The VMR assists with:

• Processing application fee waivers for new and transfer student-veterans
• Processing and certifying veteran-specific educational benefits, including:
  • The Post 9/11 GI Bill (CH 33)
  • Montgomery GI Bill(CH 30)
  • Voc.- Rehab (CH 31)
  • Dependents Educational Assistance Program (CH 35)

All new veterans must submit a copy of their DD214 and Certificate of Eligibility along with a copy of our intake form to the veterans email. All continuing student-veterans and dependents intending to use VA benefit to cover school tuition and/or receive BAH MUST submit a separate certification form EVERY semester they attend and want covered (fall, winter, spring, summer). Forms are attached on this website.
