Resources for you and your family

PennWest is committed to providing an exceptional education to military service members, veterans, and their families. Whether you attend classes on campus or are 100% online, you'll receive the career-boosting education you need—and the flexibility and support you deserve.

The Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 requires educational institutions to make certain disclosures to students using federal military and/or VA educational benefits. You can access a personalized datasheet by visiting Consumer Information at PennWest.

Additional financial information can be found at the NCES College Navigator site or by contacting the PennWest Office of Military & Veterans Affairs or the PennWest Financial Aid office.
