Military & Veteran Services

Quincy College is pleased to welcome veterans of the United States Armed Forces, active duty service members and their loved ones, to our college. We look forward to meeting your educational needs, and assisting you in navigating your education benefits with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. We take pride in our ability to provide personalized assistance to all veterans and veteran dependents.

Through the Quincy College Veterans Discount Program, Veterans may enroll in either Liberal Arts or Professional Programs classes at a discounted rate. Veterans are eligible for this reduced rate regardless of the number of courses they take in a semester. The veteran discount program is not funded by the state or federal government; therefore, veterans who are eligible for education benefits through the VA may also receive the Quincy College discounted rate.

We are happy to review both military and college transcripts, as well as CLEP and DANTES exam scores, for transfer credit according to American Council of Education (ACE) recommendations.

Veterans, veteran dependents, and active duty service members are able to use their federal education benefits here at Quincy College.

Programs we are approved to administer include:

• Post 9/11 GI Bill^®
• Vocational Rehabilitation
• Montgomery GI Bill^®
• Tuition Assistance
• MyCAA
• VA Work Study
