Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is a center for veterans, current or former military personnel, their family members or significant others.  Veterans can get information on benefits, relax between classes, use computers, study or just get together and talk. 

VRC Brooklyn Park, Room H165, (763) 488-2529, vrc-bp@hennepintech.edu 

VRC Eden Prairie, Room H160, (952) 995-1509, vrc-ep@hennepintech.edu 

Veteran students can apply for VA education benefits with the help of the VRC student workers.  For more complicated cases, students can work with one of the MN VA Higher Ed Regional Coordinators who are available by appointment.
