Veterans and Military Service Members
Welcome to the Veteran and Military Service Member Center at Lorain County Community College. We are committed to serving veterans, active duty personnel, reservists, National Guard and their family members, as they begin life’s next mission. The center acts as a liaison with Veterans Administration to certify enrollment for students utilizing G.I. Bill or Vocational Rehabilitation benefits. We can also assist you with the resources needed to remove any barriers to your academic, career and life goals.
