Roane State Community College

Getting Started

• If you have applied to the college and received a RaiderNet account, please submit a Request for Certification as soon as possible so Roane State Veteran Services can help you with obtaining and utilizing your earned GI Bill® educational benefits and achieve your educational goals. You will be prompted to enter your RSCC (RaiderNet) username & password.
• If you are not yet received a RaiderNet account, create a Dynamic Forms account, and submit a Request for Certification form. Please remember this username and password as it will be used to submit and sign additional paperwork until you receive a RaiderNet account.

GI Bill® Education Programs

The category of benefits you may receive will depend upon when you served, your length of service, and other factors. You must be admitted to the college in a degree or certificate-seeking program to receive benefits.

Assistance including tuition and fees, books, supplies, and housing stipend depends upon your Letter of Eligibility rating from the VA.
