At the heart of this recognition is a passionate team across UE’s campus, including Cherie Leonhardt, Manager of Transfer Admission, who has championed this cause for years...

We're proud to offer a supportive environment where veterans can thrive. UE is a great place for student veterans, our size and close-knit community allow veterans to connect easily with faculty and peers, making the transition back to academic life smoother and more personalized.

One of the standout features of UE’s veteran services is its participation in the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program. This program ensures that tuition costs don’t stand in the way of a great education, as UE covers any remaining tuition not covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. For veterans and qualifying dependents, this means a chance to pursue their academic dreams without financial worries holding them back.
