Veterans Discretionary Funds
The Veterans Programs Fund is a discretionary resource designed to support military-connected students who are experiencing unexpected financial hardships. Assistance may be available for emergency expenses such as food, housing, rent, or other urgent needs that could otherwise interfere with a student’s ability to continue pursuing their education.
Amazon Wish List
Our Veterans Food Pantry Amazon Wish List provides an easy way for community members to support military-connected students facing food insecurity. Donations of pantry staples, personal care items, and other essential goods help ensure that student veterans and their families have access to the resources they need while pursuing their educational goals. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.
