The program consists of onsite and online classes.
Active duty and honorably discharged Veterans or their spouses who complete the training will receive a Certificate of Completion and are eligible for up to a $35,000 loan at a fixed interest rate of five percent, though some restrictions apply. Applications must be received by January 26.

Donate cell phones to soldiers this holiday season
The Texas Veterans Commission continues to collect cell phones, electrical & car chargers, ear phones and accessories for Cell Phones for Soldiers, a nonprofit that provides international calling cards to servicemembers around the world.
The tax-deductible Donated phones are refurbished, resold or recycled and the proceeds help purchase the calling cards. Many people will be purchasing new cell phones during the holidays and this is a perfect time to contribute that old phone to the collection drive.
You can mail or drop off your cell phones and accessories at the Texas Veterans Commission Headquarters office in the Stephen F. Austin Bldg. (8th floor-Suite 800), 1700 N. Congress Ave, 8th Floor-Suite 800, Austin, TX 78701.
