Military and Veteran Benefits

Nazareth University salutes your service to our country and values your contributions to the campus community. We are committed to providing you with the highest level of student and financial services, and are here to assist with any issue that may arise. We can also guide you to federal and state military benefits you are eligible for.

If you served on active duty, you might be eligible for education benefits offered by the Department of Veteran Affairs.

If you are the spouse or child of a service member, you may be eligible for transfer of the service member's Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits.

If you are currently serving in the military, you may be eligible for funding offered through the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance program. If you are interested in using this benefit, you must first visit your installation’s education office or liaison.
