Many of these jobs are career related and offer flexible work schedules. Students must be enrolled at least half-time to qualify for these jobs. Work-study jobs are available both on and off campus. If you are interested in student employment, check the available jobs at the Career Services Center. VETERANS AFFAIRS The Veterans Affairs Office is located on the Sierra Vista Campus. A representative is also available on the Douglas Campus. Information concerning attendance, benefits and procedures is available. All veterans are advised to maintain close contact with the VA representative. If you are a veteran receiving VA benefits, you are required to immediately report to the VA representative when you drop a course or withdraw from college. If you fail to report a reduction in credits or withdrawal from the college, you may be required to repay all the money you received during that semester/term. Veterans must register and pay for their classes before enrollment will be certified to the Veterans Administration. A one-time exception is made for the first term. New VA students are eligible to sign a promissory note to cover tuition and books. Payment is deferred until benefit checks are received. SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships are offered by the Cochise College Foundation each year. These scholarships are funded by private donors. Financial need, grade point average, field of study, leadership, and community service are some of the eligibility requirements. Brochures listing the scholarships and the application are available in the Financial Aid Offices each spring. Various other scholarship notices are received periodically and are posted on the scholarship boards located on each campus. Applications are usually available in the Financial Aid Office.
