Veterans Affairs
As a 2019-2020 Gold Level Top Ten Military Friendly School, Alabama A&M University is committed to investing in programs and student support
services to assist our military students’ transition from military life to civilian
life on the Hill. To ease the transitioning process, the office of veterans affairs
and disability services created a spacious Veterans Center, which provides the following:
- A quiet, relaxing, and peaceful environment to register for your VA educational benefits
- A computer lab with 12 private workstations
- A multi-purpose room to participate in teleconferences, meetings, and social gatherings
We also provide a variety of resources needed to make the most of your "Bulldog" experience.
For further information, please feel free to email us at veteranaffairs@aamu.edu or come by Carver Complex South, Room 106.
Thank you for your service!
