Veterans Education Benefits
In compliance with United States Department of Veteran Affairs, the University aids veteran students in receiving Veteran Education Benefits. An official education certifying officer processes the applications and forms needed to certify the attendance of a veteran student at the University. Veteran students seeking additional information may contact the UT Permain Basin Veteran Services department, or may seek veteran information at benefits.va.gov
Veteran Education Counselors
Texas Government Code 434.302 allows for the Texas Veteran Commission to employ veteran counselors to work with institutions of higher education to promote and support veteran educational opportunities. Veterans who are enrolled in classes should contact the Coordinator of Veteran Services of the certifying officer at UT Permain Basin for more information.

Falcon Veterans Association
A student led organization that meets twice a month to serve the next generation of transitioning veteran students from military life to academic life. FVA's purpose is (1) to assist students in overcoming the isolation and disruption that such a transition can cause, by providing a support system in which veteran students and non-military students interact, bond, and discuss relevant issues on professional and social levels and (2) be an advocacy group to improve resources and services available that will make being a veteran student at the UT Permian Basin that much better.
