The mission of the Military Affairs Office at Bridgewater is to assist veterans, national guard members, reservists, and family members in taking full advantage of all benefits available to them as well as assist in the transition from military service to student life at the university. The office provides advocacy, and we have networks and resources on and off campus that benefit the student community.
IMPORTANTAll veteran & military students must contact the Financial Aid Office Bridgewater State University to certify their military benefits. Veteran services offers a supportive atmosphere where veteran students and current service members can discuss and address issues and concerns with the university Veteran Services Representative.
