Ohio GI Promise
Campus Veteran Services
The Ohio GI Promise seeks to promote and expand best practices in services for military, veteran and veteran dependent students at all University System of Ohio institutions. Many of Ohio's colleges and universities have established programs to support veteran students on their campus that are among the best in the nation. The Board of Regents will continue to work with all of our higher education institution to implement these practices wherever possible.
A key to that effort will be ensuring good communication across the system for both veterans looking to enroll in school and university and college staff who work with veteran students at each institution. In order to better connect students and faculty to the types of services available across the University System of Ohio we have provided a list of each institution's veteran office contact information as well as Web links where available.
