We are grateful for the selfless service you have given and are honored to help you in the pursuit of your educational goals.
Veteran Services mentors students as they progress through their college endeavors. The Veterans Services team is led and staffed by military veterans who are here to support you and help navigate any issues you may encounter. We are trained to disseminate information concerning the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefit programs and to make referrals to appropriate university professionals to facilitate a smooth transition in relation to your academic endeavor.
We sponsor programs, especially for veterans, including veteran resume workshops, veteran study groups, and many others.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn Veteran Affairs Checklist is your starting point to establish your VA Education Benefits.
