Including dependents, the veteran community at MSU now includes more than 3,000 students. These students are served by MSUs Montgomery Center for Americas Veterans at Nusz Hall and a network of specially trained university personnel.

MSU offers many financial resources to the veteran community, including specific scholarships and an out-of-state tuition waiver for military members, veterans and dependents. Veterans and current military members can transfer technical credits earned through the service toward a bachelors degree through MSUs Bachelor of Applied Science program.
