Message from The College of Saint Rose

At The College of Saint Rose, serving student veterans and their families is embedded in our mission and history. Starting in 1946, when the College first opened its doors to World War II veterans, we’ve continued to build on this tradition of providing the veteran community opportunities to excel, both personally and professionally. 

There’s a reason why we topped the Military Friendly® School list for the last four years and have been named a Military Friendly® School for 10 consecutive years. For qualifying veterans and their family members using the Post 9/11 GI Bill (maximum), we are a 100% uncapped Yellow Ribbon School. We have a dedicated, secure space on campus — The Veteran Center — where students can relax between classes, do homework and connect. To support your transition, the Veteran Residence Hall provides a year-round, different from a traditional dorm room. It is equipped with a full kitchen, living room, laundry facilities, and single rooms. And, championing our students, we’re proud to have Martin Dinan as our director of veteran enrollment along with our Assistant Director Nick Lanier, both veterans of the U.S. Army.
