The TWU Veteran’s Affairs Center in the Office of the Registrar proudly serves our veterans, service members, and their families by facilitating the various federal and state educational benefit programs for qualified recipients. These include the VA programs of Montgomery GI Bill®, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program, Post 9/11 GI Bill®, Survivors and Dependents Education, the Selected Reserve GI Bill®, and Reserve Educational Assistance Program. The center also provides services for veterans and dependents qualified for the State of Texas Hazlewood exemption program.
Veterans either receiving or transferring VA benefits will need to provide to TWU official military transcripts and a DD-214 that states type of discharge. A Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA is not mandatory but it is requested. Veterans either receiving or transferring Texas Hazlewood benefits will need to provide a DD-214 that states the Veteran’s type of discharge and complete the Hazlewood application available in the Registrar’s Office VA center. Dependents eligible to use their own set of hours or receiving transferred Hazlewood benefits will also need to complete the Hazlewood application and will need to submit additional supporting documentation.
Both the federal and state veterans’ benefit programs have certain continuing enrollment and academic eligibility requirements. In order to ensure compliance, TWU maintains the right to terminate benefits on any student failing to maintain minimum standards as set by federal and/or state law.
For specific information on the federal and state benefit programs, eligibility, application process, and other requirements, please visit our website.

College life can be quite different from life in the military. Texas Woman's University is committed to those who have served our country with a dedicated office to guide veterans as they transition from boots to books. If you or someone in your family has served in the military, please contact the CARE office to receive your personal welcome and guide to relevant resources.
The Veteran and Military Student Center is a dedicated space for military-affiliated students featuring a quiet place to study equipped with computers, printer, desks, a campus phone, a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Additionally lounge space is available for relaxing with fellow veterans and service members and conducting Student Veterans Association (SVA) chapter meetings.
The student services and resources described are available to students currently enrolled at the University. For some services or events, a fee may be charged and/or proper TWU identification may be required. Services vary from one university site to another.
