Veteran Services

The Veterans Coordinator at Rend Lake College is the liason between the college and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This coordinator helps student veterans submit applications for military benefits and other financial aid, and officially certifies their enrollment to ensure they get timely payments.
