Can I receive college benefits/scholarships if I’m 31 and the daughter of a US Veteran?

My Dad is a veteran but didn’t actually go overseas. He was stationed in ALASKA at the time but wasn’t deployed. He is now disabled but I’m not sure if its linked to serving (I have a hunch…probably not). Since the war, he’s always been an alcoholic and sometimes a drug addict. My husband and I are hoping to go the Purdue Univ. next fall and move with our 2 young daughters to both attend school. I’m 31 and haven’t attended college before, my husband has. Can I get any help from the Veterans Association as far as scholarships? How can I find out. I’m not even sure where to begin.
