Veterans Educational Training
VET is a program of the North Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs and the State Board of Higher Education to assist veterans who are enrolled, or are in the process of enrolling, in higher education in the state or an adjacent state.
This includes current & former members of the National Guard, Reserve, or Active-duty components. Dependent family members are not eligible for direct services, however many of the resources linked here are specifically for military family members, and others are free and open to anyone.
Although we're housed in Fargo on the campus of North Dakota State University, we try to serve veterans across the whole state through a network of collaborative partners and by providing online resources in addition to in-person supportive programming.
Our program centers on helping veterans to get into a college/technical training that aligns with their academic and career goals, and to develop the skills and knowledge they need to be successful. We can also help with referrals to resources to address barriers to completing your education.
