Military/Veteran Affiliated Services
We proudly serve veterans and active military members at Ringling College of Art and Design. The Military Affiliated Services Department is committed to providing the information and services needed for students using or looking to use VA educational benefits. The department assists with charting the transition from military life and helps promote the student’s knowledge of resources, self-growth, and connections.
Military Affiliated Services can help students and their families in many ways, including help with applying for benefits, providing information on how VA education benefits and the college processes work together, and connecting students with college resources such as advising, counseling services, and financial aid resources.
Ringling College is proud to be recognized as a Military Friendly® School.
