Veteran Services
Our team is committed to creating a community of support for veterans, active-duty service members and their families.
PNW Veteran Services should be the first destination for any active-duty service member, veteran or veteran dependent.
We strive to provide the best assistance to those who serve, ensuring that transitioning from the military to higher education is seamless and as stress free as possible.

Veterans Cost Guide
The Veterans Cost Guide required by Section 1018 of the Isakson and Roe Act provides students that are eligible for VA Education Benefits the ability to see the estimated annual cost of attendance, how much their benefits will cover while attending, and the possible outcomes of these benefits at Purdue University Northwest (PNW).

Veterans have additional paperwork to file throughout the admissions process and throughout college. Knowing what paperwork is required and how to properly file it is important to your admission and benefits process.
