Financial Aid Veterans Educational Services

Military Friendly

Emporia State University is a military-friendly school that strives to assist military members, Veterans, Spouses, and their dependents in utilizing their education benefits. We prepare students for lifelong learning, rewarding careers, and adaptive leadership.

Principles of Excellence

President Obama signed Executive Order 13607: Establishing Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses and Other Family Members on April 27, 2012. These principles were developed to strengthen oversight, enforcement, and accountability of education programs, and to ensure our service members, Veterans, and their families have the information they need to make informed decisions concerning their well-earned educational benefits. More information can be found at the Department of Veterans Affairs website.
