Military Veterans

UCM recognizes and values the commitment veterans and active-duty service members make to our country. Our mission is to provide the support and resources needed to find success. We provide a military-friendly approach to education with many unique benefits so you can reach your goals. That's why we've been named Best College for Veterans by College Factual, a Top Veteran-Friendly School by U.S. Veterans Magazine, a Best for Vets College by Military Times, a 2025-26 Top 10 Military Friendly® School by VIQTORY and a Best College for Veterans by U.S. News and World Report!

Military Spouses

The University of Central Missouri respects and appreciates the sacrifices military families make as their loved ones serve our country. UCM is proud to offer in-state tuition rates for all military dependents as well as priority early course enrollment. Spouses who relocate to Missouri with an active-duty service member also receive opportunities for resident grants and scholarships. Those who use benefits from their service member qualify for UCM's Military Tuition Package, which includes exemption from the per-credit-hour mandatory general student fee, new student fee and parking permit fee.
