Veterans
For over a century, Texas A&M University has proudly supported our nation’s veterans and military-affiliated students. We have many campus and community resources, as well as faculty and staff, dedicated to our veteran students’ academic and personal success.
We offer resources to help veterans navigate the admissions process, maximize their Veteran Affairs (VA) education benefits and find a rewarding career after graduation.
Veteran Resources
The center connects veterans and military-affiliated students with uniquely tailored resources from campus and community networks to support their academic journey.
Our admissions team provides personalized guidance through the application process, assists in evaluating transfer credits and helps match career aspirations with academic pathways. From your first inquiry to your first day of class, we’ll ensure you have access to essential resources — from education benefits support to academic coaching and career services — so you can thrive as part of the Aggie Family.
Aggie One Stop helps military-affiliated students make the most of their VA education benefits and the Hazlewood Act tuition exemption. The team can connect you with student employment opportunities to support your success at Texas A&M and provide guidance on financial assistance, including scholarships, grants and loans.
Current and former students alike have access to career learning and development, empowering all Aggies to realize their potential and support Texas A&M as a trusted source of talent for the workforce.
We Stand With Those Who Serve
Texas A&M University has proudly supported veterans since 1876, honoring their service and preparing leaders to strengthen our nation. From training military doctors to leading efforts to ensure no soldier is left behind, Aggies embody loyalty, integrity and selfless service every day. Learn how Texas A&M stands with those who serve.
Student Leadership Programs
Opportunities for veterans to find a home at Texas A&M include joining the Corps of Cadets and one of our three Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs. These organizations offer scholarships and foster a sense of community for veterans in their post-military academic careers.
The Corps of Cadets is Texas A&M’s largest and oldest student organization and leadership training program. It provides a structured military environment, hands-on leadership experiences and resources to help cadets excel academically. There is no military obligation to join.
Detachment 805 prepares Corps of Cadets members to serve in the U.S. Air Force or the U.S. Space Force. Members participate in excursion trips to other countries, during which they view live aircraft up close and talk with Air Force and Space Force professionals from all specialties.
Texas A&M’s ROTC Warrior Training Battalion prepares Corps of Cadets members to serve in the U.S. Army. Members will gain basic military skills and fundamental leadership knowledge, laying the groundwork toward becoming an Army leader.
Naval ROTC members learn firsthand the roles and missions of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Students fly with Navy and Marine pilots, embark on ships and submarines, work with special operations units and train with marine infantry and other combat units.
Building Legacy Through Service
It is more than an accolade or a ranking. Texas A&M invests in support services and tailored opportunities to help shape student veterans’ futures and extend their legacy of selfless service as they inspire others across our campuses, our state, our nation and our world.
Stories of Service and Purpose
Selfless service is naturally woven into our curriculum, our research endeavors and our relentless pursuit of building a brighter, safer world. Learning from the past and looking to the future, we tell the stories of how purposeful action is a force for good.
