Community Resources for Veterans

The Department of Mental Health and Counseling Services at WCC is a comprehensive college counseling center. As such, DMHCS provides a full array of clinical services to students, as well as non-clinical services to students and the broader College community. In addition, the Veterans Resource Office partners with community-based organizations to provide referrals for you and your family members for private confidential, supportive counseling services in most cases at no charge for the uninsured.

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. To view and print a copy of an estimated personalized cost of attendance you can visit the SUNY Net Price Cost Calculator and select (Westchester Community College) from the dropdown. Additional financial information can be found at the NCES College Navigator site.

The SUNY Financial Aid Plan (FAP) will provide a more in-depth analysis and accurate picture of student cost once the student has filed their FAFSA, completed a SUNY application, and has been accepted by a campus.
