Veteran Student Stats

Military Veterans

Ole Miss is proud to serve and support military-connected students, including veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and military families. The university offers tailored resources such as priority registration, dedicated staff support, and access to military-specific scholarships and benefits. These services are designed to ease the transition into college life and help military-connected students achieve their educational and career goals. We deeply appreciate the service and sacrifice of our military community. We honor their contributions by fostering a campus culture that values leadership, resilience, and a strong sense of community.

Military Spouses

Ole Miss is an exceptional institution for military spouses because it pairs comprehensive benefit navigation—including transferred VA entitlements and MyCAA support—with individualized academic planning through Veteran & Military Services. The university’s flexible programs, career-focused pathways, and strong childcare and community resources make it easier for spouses to balance education with family and service-related demands. Oxford’s safe, affordable environment and the campus’s deeply rooted culture of support create stability, while professional development, networking opportunities, and faculty engagement empower military spouses to translate their educational goals into long-term career mobility.
