Saint Martin’s University empowers military-affiliated students with gold standard services

LACEY, Wash. — Military veterans and transitioning active-duty students bring valuable skills and life experience to the college environment. At Saint Martin’s University, the Veterans Center serves as a vital resource for these hardworking soldiers and their families, offering support that spans academic advising, peer connection, career development, mentorship and assistance with VA benefits and financial aid. This commitment to military-affiliated students earned Saint Martin’s the Gold designation as a 2025-2026 Military Friendly School, awarded by VIQTORY. The distinction honors institutions that demonstrate exceptional commitment to supporting military and veteran communities, and complements Saint Martin’s recent recognition as a 2025–2026 Military Support College of Distinction.
