We honor our Service members, Spouses, and Dependents!  Dyersburg State actively seeks to enroll qualified individuals who have served (along with their family members) in the United States Armed Forces. We believe veterans and their families contribute valuable life experiences and varied perspectives to our classrooms and overall community.

In August 2020, Dyersburg State was recognized as a VETS Campus. In Tennessee, the Veterans Education Transition Support (VETS Act) establishes a program of recognition for institutions, which allocate resources for veterans’ successful transition from military service to college enrollment. As a VETs Campus, we strive to deliver services necessary to create supportive environments where student veterans, and their families, can prosper while pursuing their education, in and out of the classroom.
