If a student has engaged in active service in the U.S. Armed Forces or was a cadet or midshipman at one of the service academies, and was released under a condition other than dishonorable, bad conduct, uncharacterized, or other than honorable, the student is considered a veteran. PHEAA disregards any EFC and Pell award you may have. This means that you will receive the highest Pennsylvania State Grant possible, based on the allowable college costs for the school you are attending. Note: ROTC students, current cadets or midshipmen at service academies, and National Guard or Reservists who were not activated for duty other than training are not considered veterans for the 2009-10 academic year.
