Veterans Affairs Tutoring & Work Studies

Veterans Affairs Tutoring & Work Studies

Tutoring Assistance

The university offers veterans free tutoring. Visit the Student Success Center website for complete information.

If you choose not to use SUBR's free tutoring services, the Division of Veterans Affairs (DVA) will pay up to $600 in tutoring help for you. You must be receiving VA educational benefits to be eligible.

The DVA pays for the tutor at a rate of no more than $100 per month, which is paid to you. You are responsible for paying the tutor. You may be eligible for an additional $600 in tutoring benefits, for a total of $1,200. This additional $600 in tutoring will be deducted from your VA educational benefits.

Please contact the SUBR Veterans Affairs Office to obtain information about this service or visit the Division of Veterans Affairs website to learn more about this service.

Most SUBR students eligible to work in the VA Work Study program work approximately 20 hours per week. Those who are eligible are paid at the greater of either the federal or state minimum wage.
