Veteran Benefits and Post-9/11 GI Bill®

Financial Aid

How Veteran Benefits and the Post 9/11 GI Bill® can help you get financial aid for Executive Security Training at PWA.

Easing the Transition

Too many veterans return from military service to civilian life without adequate direction or assistance without utilizing the veteran benefits they’ve earned. Pacific West Academy’s objective is to help veterans in their transition from military service to gainful civilian employment. The Academy’s programs enable its students utilize the skills acquired during military service so that they can be applied to meet the needs of employers. Our staff is comprised primarily of Military Veterans who have gone through similar experiences and are able to work with you personally to guide you in the right direction. We work with various organizations that assist U.S. Military Veterans with employment costs that may include: Training costs, suit jacket and pants, boots, tactical belt, tactical pants, transportation, housing, etc.
