Veteran Student Services
The faculty, staff and students of Valparaiso University thank you for your service to our country and are delighted to welcome you to our campus. Here you will find many resources from the campus and the community to assist you and support your needs. Take advantage of the resources below and let us know how we can help you have the best university experience possible.
Mission: To help our active duty and reserve military personnel, military veterans and dependents graduate from college quickly and successfully.
Valparaiso University is proudly committed to the success of our veterans:
- We are committed to the Yellow Ribbon Program
- We are a 2016 Military Friendly School
The Valparaiso University Veteran Student Services focuses on the needs of our active duty, reserve, veteran and dependent communities. Under development, it is envisioned as a “one-stop shop” for military and veteran admissions, advising, registration, financial aid, and counseling. It is a resource for veterans in regard to academic, personal, and social needs and a vehicle by which veterans can connect to the University and to each other.
