MILITARY SUPPORT SERVICES NewSchool is a military and veterans’ supportive school. VETERANS RESOURCE CENTER The Center serves as a resource to our military students to learn more about VA benefits and services available in our local community. In addition, it allows military students to meet and interact with one another in a supportive space on campus. SCHOOL CERTIFYING OFFICIALS The school certifying officials (SCO) are a liaison for NewSchool students and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are located in the Office of Financial Aid.

The SCO can also: Answer general questions about federal VA Education Benefits; Provide hardcopy VA forms; Assist students with completing VA forms; Submit forms to the VA; Contact the VA on behalf of a student with specific benefit related issues. VETERAN LIAISON NewSchool is honored to be participating in the VA student Work-Study Allowance Program, which offers an additional allowance to veteran students in return for their performing services in VA-related activities. Veteran students selected for the program will work under supervision of an SCO as a veteran liaison. The veteran liaison assists in providing general information regarding veteran’s education benefits as well as campus and community services for military students and families. The liaison may assist students with general inquiries about veteran education benefits via phone, email, and in person. The liaison also organizes events and regular meetings on campus with NewSchool’s military student population and helps maintain and organize veteran-related files.
