Veteran Support

SMU is proud to have students who have served their country in the armed services. There are many undergraduate transfer students on campus from all branches of the military. These veterans enhance our community through the experiences they bring and the commitment they have to their education.

The Post 9/11 GI Bill makes an 麻豆社 education accessible and affordable. The University is also pleased to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans who are 100% benefit eligible. For more information about 麻豆社's commitment to veterans and applying for veterans benefits, visit the Enrollment Services Veterans website.
