Resources for Student Veterans, Active-Duty Military and Their Family Members

Each year, thousands of military members take classes at Oklahoma colleges and universities. With the revamped GI Bill, veteran enrollment numbers have increased dramatically. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education encourage all active and retired service members to take full advantage of their educational benefits.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have provided the links below and on the pages to the right with the hope that they are helpful.
