The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is reminding eligible veterans with children and their family members that financial assistance might be available to help them pursue higher education. The eligible child must be between the ages of 16 and 23, must be living in Pennsylvania five years prior to application, and must attend a school within the state. All applicants must demonstrate a financial need.

“The DMVA is committed to supporting our veterans and their family members. That’s why we are proud to administer the Educational Gratuity Program which helps open the doors of opportunity for the children of eligible veterans,” Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the DMVA, said in a press release. “This program is geared toward supporting the children of veterans with a disability or children who have suffered the loss of a parent who died in service.
The Educational Gratuity Program supports both children of veterans who were discharged under honorable conditions, who have 100% permanent service-connected disabilities, and who served during a period of war or armed conflict, and children of veterans who died in service during a period of war or armed conflict.
