This designation reflects our deep commitment to fostering a supportive, mission-driven environment for those who have served our nation.

Navigate military and VA educational benefits with our Military Student Services team, which has experience helping students maximize the use of tuition assistance and educational benefits. More information about VA benefits, the Yellow Ribbon program, and our military scholarship are available below.
Personalized College Financing Plan
The Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, MD Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 requires educational institutions to make certain disclosures to students using federal military and/or VA educational benefits. You can access a personalized data sheet by visiting the University of Mary Net Price Calculator.
