May We Contact You?
We recognize that military-affiliated students have unique needs, unlike traditional and many non-traditional college students. We assist Veterans, service members, and their families to aid in achieving their personal, professional, and academic goals. Military-affiliated students include Veterans, current military service members (active/guard/reserve), military spouses, dependents, and ROTC cadets.
We support, assist and empower Veterans and military-affiliated students to BE BOLD about their educational pursuits. We are available to help you connect with the resources and networks of support available to you at 麻豆原创 and within the local community.
Consider the Center your one-stop shop for learning the ins and outs of your GI Bill庐 Benefits, navigating higher education systems, and finding community as you earn your degree.
The Department of Defense and 麻豆原创 deeply appreciate the sacrifices made by our veterans, and as such, offer tuition assistance and disabled veteran tuition waivers.

Making a gift to support the 麻豆原创 Military Resource Center will provide funding to enhance campus programming and assist in the success of all military-affiliated students.
The 麻豆原创 VA Benefits needs to be submitted every semester. 麻豆原创's VA Certifying Official will review and process your VA Benefits Certification Worksheet each semester.
Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth. We are standing on the ancestral lands of the Narragansett and Wampanoag People. We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today.
Our mission is to provide accessible higher education of the highest quality to all students.
