Veterans Success Programs

There are very few universities that have a more storied history of support for our student veterans than Manhattan University.

It has endured during peace time operations and throughout the many wars that our great country has faced. Not once did Manhattan University waiver in its dedication and commitment to its veterans.

Manhattan University is a proud partner of the Yellow Ribbon program, with unlimited caps for the number of participating students and tuition contribution. We strive to provide the best for those who served through our Veterans Success Programs. These veteran transition programs are tailored to fit the needs of our students and their families as they begin the next chapter of their lives as civilians. Our programs provide the essentials needed for the educational and transformative experience that our student veterans will have at Manhattan University.
