Military and Veterans' Services
Thank you for your service, now let McKendree University serve your family.
Whether you want to finish a degree you started years ago or are attending college
for the first time, we'll help you reach your goal. With your military experience
and a college degree, your opportunities are boundless.
As the first institution of higher learning in Illinois, McKendree University has
a rich history of serving active military and veterans. We have campuses operating
in Lebanon, Illinois, the Center at Scott Air Force Base, 7 Illinois locations with
the AiM program, and Louisville and Radcliff, Kentucky. We are conveniently located
on or near two U.S. military installations - Scott Air Force Base and Fort Knox Army Post. All of our locations can readily help any active or veteran member of the armed
services interested in enrolling. McKendree was recently named by G.I. Jobs Magazine
as a “Military Friendly School.” We are also an active participant in the Yellow Ribbon
GI Education Enhancement Program.
All McKendree campuses have staff specifically designated to provide support for veteran
and active military students. Our veteran certifying officials serve as liaisons between
you and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). They are available to certify enrollment
to the VA, assist in processing claims and answer questions concerning veterans benefits.
