The Pillars of OVMAE
The work of the Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement focuses on three pillars: dialogue, teaching and research.
Community
We will foster a supportive, inclusive community for veterans and military-affiliated students through events, networking opportunities and collaboration with the academic, military and civilian communities.
Teaching
Our academic offerings — degree programs, certificates, courses — and information resources that contribute to increased understanding and knowledge about service members, veterans and their families.
Research
We are making efforts to collaborate on research with other like-minded agencies at ASU and in the greater community, to address veteran issues such as physical and mental health, social connectedness, employment, education and homelessness.
Apply for the OVMAE Veteran Scholarship
We invite veterans and active-duty service members studying at ASU to apply for our Veteran Scholarship, recognizing their dedication and resilience. This scholarship provides financial assistance to help cover tuition, books, other expenses and the cost to attend graduation in person.

The Veterans Voices series is a platform for veterans to share their unique stories, offering insight into the diverse experiences, challenges, and triumphs within the military community. Through panels, discussions, and storytelling events, Veterans Voices highlights the personal journeys of those who have served, focusing on themes of identity, culture, resilience, and the impact of military life on personal growth. This series fosters dialogue and understanding, bridging connections between veterans and the broader community while honoring the lived experiences of our nation’s service members.
