Veterans Services

Here at Western State College of Colorado, we Believe in Giving Back.  We are proud of the services, and  selfless sacrifice, that Veterans have provided our country, and we are honored to have the opportunity to provide those who have served with the resources and support needed to pursue educational goals at Western State College. 

Veterans, and their dependents, can be confident that WSC is committed to helping all students acheive academic success.  Through carefully coordinating efforts with various resources on campus, we strive to simplify the process of receiving educational benefits, such as the new Post 9/11 GI Bill.
