Why ECC?
Essex Community College is proud to provide assistance to those who bravely served in the armed forces.
As a veteran, you may be eligible for educational benefits through GI Bill® programs. The GI Bill® offers several different sets of benefits, and depending on your goals and aspirations, some of them may be better for you than others.
ECC’s Office of Veterans Affairs (OVA) can help you break down your options, so you can make the best choice and get the most from the benefits you’ve earned.
