Military Kids

University Veteran Services is here for you!


Our office doesn’t just provide support to veterans and service members. We also support over 1,500 children of veterans or service members in navigating education benefits and building community on campus.

How to Get Involved

Every April during the Month of the Military Kid, we celebrate our amazing military kids on campus and highlight a few of their stories. Read more about their lives and experiences growing up in a military family.
