Need help in locating the Campus Certifying Official?
Interested in having someone to talk with about the challenges
facing student veterans today?
PROVE, Project for Return and Opportunity in
Veterans Education, was founded to serve
student veterans by assisting their transition
from military service to college life and beyond.
PROVE’s goal is to help improve retention and
graduation rates among student veterans by
working with and utilizing the special skills and
talents of student veterans.
The PROVE team aims to help meet the needs
of student veterans ranging from navigating the
world of GI benefits to providing a cohesive,
safe and friendly environment for student
veterans to thrive as they transition to this new
stage of life.
THE PROVE MODEL
works with existing campus
professionals to enhance services
to student veterans.

Our staff can assist in your transition needs,
whatever they may be. We follow up with every
student veteran that gets involved with
PROVE.
PROVE strives to create and maintain a
friendly and open environment. We provide a
place on campus for you to wind down, get
your work done, build community and get
assistance from people that care and are
invested in helping you get the job done. Every
student veteran is welcome at PROVE,
regardless of their experience with the military.
Many students have built long lasting
relationships and camaraderie through PROVE
with other student veterans at their campus.
PROVE strives to build community and
provides you the opportunity to participate in
social and service activities both on campus
and community wide.
