The University of Evansville (UE) has been recognized as a top veteran-friendly school for 2024 by U.S. Veterans Magazine, a leading publication that promotes the accomplishments and contributions of veterans in higher education and across various industries.

A team of individuals from across UE's campus, including Cherie Leonhardt, Manager of Transfer Admission, have worked for years to create an environment that's supportive of student veterans.

"We have something pretty special going on here at the University of Evansville," she shared.

The university supports veterans through a variety of programs, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program. UE waives any tuition not covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, ensuring that veterans and qualifying dependents receive a quality education without financial barriers.

"We're proud to offer a supportive environment where veterans can thrive," said Leonhardt. "UE is a great place for student veterans, our size and close-knit community allow veterans to connect easily with faculty and peers, making the transition back to academic life smoother and more personalized."

UE also offers a student veteran lounge, which fosters camaraderie and creates an inclusive environment where veterans can relax and connect with others between classes.
