EDUCATION (TITLE 38)<br />
Under authority of federal law, Title 38 United States Code, the California State<br />
Approving Agency for <strong>Veteran</strong>s Education (CSAAVE) approves or disapproves<br />
veterans’ education and training programs, prevents abuses, and promotes quality<br />
in veterans’ education by evaluating and monitoring education and training<br />
programs. The CSAAVE serves as part of the State of California and operates<br />
under contract with the VA.<br />
CSAAVE conducts on-site supervisory visits to approved institutions and schools<br />
seeking approval, provides technical assistance to all interested parties, and<br />
is engaged in outreach activities to encourage eligible individuals to use the<br />
benefits provided by the Montgomery GI Bill. The programs that can be approved<br />
by the CSAAVE are institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities), nondegree<br />
institutions (vocational and technical schools), apprenticeships, public<br />
and private employer’s on-the- job training (OJT), and licensing and certification<br />
exams. For more information or to submit a complaint about a CSAAVE- approved<br />
institution, go to www.calvet.ca.gov (Vet Services).<br />
