At Quinnipiac, we recognize the sacrifices that current and former military service members have made on behalf of the United States. We’ve long been committed to helping our nation’s veterans, active and reserve military and National Guard members reach their educational goals.

Whether your mission is advancing your military career, transitioning to the civilian sector, or supporting your dependent as they work toward their degree, we are honored to assist you every step of the way.
Eligible veterans of the armed forces may qualify for educational benefits. We proudly participate in the "Yellow Ribbon Program." Part of the Post 9/11 GI-Bill®, this initiative provides funds for eligible veterans who served after September 10, 2001. The Office of Veteran and Military Affairs stands ready to help you navigate all federal veterans benefits available.

The Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) program provides financial assistance to Service members for voluntary off-duty education programs in support of professional and personal self-development goals. TA is available for courses that are offered in the classroom or by distance learning and are part of an approved academic degree or certificate program.
We’ve partnered with the Department of Defense to make sure that active duty members of the military on our campus can benefit from the Federal Military Tuition Assistance Program. This initiative provides up to $4,500 in aid each year.
The first step is to visit your installation’s education office to develop an education plan before submitting a military Tuition Assistance request. After that, we’ll step in to ensure that the money is in your account before classes begin.
Students can take AFROTC classes at Yale University’s main campus in New Haven. The first-year and sophomore courses carry no military obligation and are open to all students. After a 40-year hiatus, Yale graduated its first Air Force ROTC class in 2016; one Quinnipiac student — Catherine Perrotti— was among the graduates. Today, approximately a dozen QU students are enrolled in the Yale AFROTC program; at least half of them have a full scholarship.
