Milligan University is a veteran-friendly institution. The university allows for military transfer credit, flexibility on registration and withdrawals due to deployments, and payment deferments while awaiting properly applied-for educational benefits.
Milligan waives all internal admission application fees for veterans and provides individual counseling during the application and admission process. Use the code YELLOWRIBBON to waive the application fee. Give us a call at 800.262.8337, and we’ll walk you through the admissions process.
Milligan’s Registrar’s Office is honored to assist students who have served in the United States Armed Forces and now desire to use their educational benefits. We look forward to helping you reach your education goals as well as those of dependents and or spouses of deceased soldiers through Dependents Educational Assistance.
