Veterans Services
Whether you postponed higher education to join the military, or started and then put your education on hold to serve our nation, you can be confident that Kent State is committed to helping you achieve academic success.
This includes ensuring that it is as easy as possible for you to receive the educational benefits to which you are entitled through the VA or any other established program, and to make sure your transition to college is a smooth one.
