A dependent is defined as a child, stepchild, spouse or the unremarried widow (er) of the veteran. Student must comply with Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as defined by their education institution. Student must also complete a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) release form for each educational institution that they attend to authorize the release of personally identifiable information required to determine continued eligibility and as required for necessary reporting. Student age deadline: In certain situations, a child or stepchild may be eligible for our program up to the age of 30.
