The Veterans Resource Center assists Veterans and military-connected students by processing educational benefits, providing counseling and benefit overviews and connecting students to community resources. Additionally, students have access to computers and printing, dedicated study areas and peer support.
Veterans face unique challenges when they attend college, from navigating the details of the GI Bill, finding academic and personal counseling, finding peers that understand military life and receiving help for disabilities. Let us help you connect with all of the resources available to you in the community.
Apply for benefits by filling out the Intake Form and choosing the chapter that is right for you. Please make an appointment with the Veterans Resource staff to get the most out of your veterans benefits.
