Military & Veteran Students

Did you know?

  • Your military training could transfer into college credits.
  • Your National Guard and Reserve service may qualify you for VA Educational Benefits.
  • Your military benefits do NOT disqualify you from additional federal student aid.
  • Disability ratings do not determine your need for accommodations in educational settings.
  • If you have qualified disability ratings from the VA your dependents could be eligible for financial education assistance.
  • The State of Ohio has scholarships available for children of disabled and deceased veterans.

At Ohio State, you'll join over 2,000 current veterans, dependents, and Active Duty Personnel, National Guard, and Reserve members attending as undergraduate and graduate students; over 1,200 current faculty and staff veterans; and over 400 Tri-Service Air Force, Army, and Navy ROTC program participants throughout all Ohio State University campuses.

Our goals:

  • Connect with all military and veteran students in order to support their academic journey.
  • Sponsor campus and community service projects (e.g., Shop with a Hero) and provide social opportunities in order to enrich the lives of military and veteran community members.
