VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC)

Overview

VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) is a VA program designed to assist with the military-to-civilian transition process. The initiative provides specialized support to eligible service members, veterans, and dependents pursuing education benefits.

Pro Tip: VetSuccess on Campus puts a VA counselor at participating colleges to help student veterans navigate benefits and school. If your campus has one, use them. Free help is free help.
