Military Students

Military personnel, veterans, and their families make huge sacrifices in duty to their community, country, and the Commonwealth. These often lead to unconventional paths to higher education. Specific assistance is needed to navigate the credits already earned, the financial assistance eligible for, or the support needed for personal, educational, and employment needs.

Get Help on Your Campus

Many institutions provide a Veterans Center on campus. Often specialized advisors and admissions counselors are also designated to specifically help military and veteran students with their specific needs. If you cannot find these resources through the school’s website, ask at admissions or registration offices.

GI Bill® Benefits

The Pennsylvania State Approving Agency (SAA) ensures that eligible Veterans and family members have access to quality programs of education and training at which they may utilize their earned VA Education benefits to help pay for college, graduate school, and training programs.
