Help us help vets with an individual contribution in your community. The best way to impact the vets around you is with hands-on assistance through your business, a veteran service organization, and in your community. You can also help our emergency aid initiative with a donation to the Military Family Assistance Fund.
Louisiana offers educational benefits for children, spouses and surviving spouses of veterans who meet certain requirements. For living veterans, children are eligible; for veterans who are POW/MIA, spouses are eligible; and for deceased veterans, surviving spouses and children are eligible.
Eligibility for Title 29 education benefits require that veterans meet residency requirements under La. R.S. 29:288, and as amended by Act 74 of the 2024 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature. Eligibility requirements are different for living and deceased veterans.
To apply, contact your parish veterans service office to schedule an appointment with a veterans assistance counselor. Applicants may view a listing of acceptable documents for residency requirements prior to visiting a parish service office.
