South Seattle College announced today that its status as a Veteran Supportive Campus was recently renewed by the Washington State Department of Veteran Affairs.

South celebrated this distinction by hosting WDVA Director Alfie Alvarado, who joined South’s President Gary Oertli for a ceremonial signing of the partnership on April 13.

Veterans on South’s campus are offered several free services tailored to their needs, highlighted by veteran affairs and GI bill service support, a veteran’s student center and a veteran’s transition specialist on staff among others. In addition to granting veterans’ early registration, veterans are also eligible for up to a 50% waiver towards the cost of tuition.

“South Seattle College is committed to serving our veterans and we are honored to be deemed a Veteran Supportive Campus by the WDVA,” South President Gary Oertli said. “With three bachelor’s degrees, four associate degrees and numerous certificates, we can help serve those who have served our country.”
