UMass Boston

The Office of Veterans Affairs at UMass Boston serves veterans, active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and their dependents and survivors using transferred or eligibility-based benefits. Our team helps students certify and manage their VA education benefits. Beyond benefits processing, we help connect students with academic advising, financial aid coordination, career support, and a community of fellow military-connected students, so they have the resources and the people they need to succeed from the first semester through to graduation
