Resources
Northeastern helps America’s military veterans on and off campus by providing orientation sessions, academic support, financial aid and registration assistance, housing near other veterans, health and counseling services, a student veterans’ group, and sports and fitness opportunities. Among our notable partnerships: We participate in a federal program that enables post-9/11 veterans to earn Northeastern degrees at little or no cost; and we collaborate with the U.S. Army Medical Department on their graduate program in anesthesia nursing.
Educational Support
Financial Aid and Registration Assistance: Our Registrar’s and Student Financial Services offices work together to ensure that veterans successfully align their course enrollments with their specific government benefit programs. http://www.northeastern.edu/financialaid
Support for Academics and Students with Disabilities: Student veterans can explore Living and Learning Communities and learn about disability accommodations and support services at the Disabilities Resource Center and the Learning Disabilities Program. The University also offers general academic support as well as tutoring programs through each of the colleges. http://www.drc.neu.edu; http://www.northeastern.edu/reslife/livinglearning/index.html
U.S. Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing (USAGPAN): Virtually all of the Army’s Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists go through this nationally top-ranked master’s degree program. This collaboration between Northeastern University’s School of Nursing and the U.S. Army Medical Department is designed to train nurse anesthetists to excel in the highly demanding environments produced by war and natural disaster. http://www.northeastern.edu/bouve/nursing/add/armyprograman.html
Yellow Ribbon Program: Post-9/11 veterans can earn degrees at little or no cost through a federal program supplemented with matching funds from Northeastern. http://www.northeastern.edu/veterans/yellowribbon

Health Services: University Health and Counseling offers a variety of services, from routine health care to support groups for issues like the transition to college, grief counseling, or PTSD. http://www.northeastern.edu/uhcs

Student Activities: Veterans enrolled at Northeastern may choose from among scores of organizations and groups that match their personal interests. Northeastern has also created a veterans’ group to promote awareness, sponsor events, and gain a voice at the University. http://www.northeastern.edu/studentactivities
