Supporting the Military

We are proud to serve those in the military and veterans as well as other students through online standalone courses, certificates, and degree programs. At Illinois, you’ll find a wide variety of online programs and courses to choose from, so you can continue to pursue your education and build your future regardless of where you are. Classes are convenient, flexible, and of the great quality you’ve always associated with Illinois. The campus' Veterans Resources office also provides advising and advocacy to students who are also veterans.

Financial aid benefits may apply. Our office currently accepts (subject to student eligibility of benefits) the following Veteran benefits for OCE self-paced online courses:

  • County Child of Veterans
  • Federal and State ROTC
  • Illinois Veterans Grant
  • MIA-POW Scholarship
  • National Guard Grant.

Veterans may use (subject to student eligibility of benefits) Federal and State Veteran Benefit Programs for semester-based online and site-based courses.
