Veterans at Linfield
Thank you for your service
Transitioning back into civilian life can feel challenging and overwhelming. You'll feel a strong sense of community and support working with the veteran assistance team at Linfield University. We've had the privilege of helping many active duty, reserve, veterans, spouses and military dependents pursue their educational dreams.
Benefits
We work with veterans and active-duty personnel all over the world to aid in the access of quality education at Linfield University by using their GI Bill® benefits. Linfield University is an approved institution of higher learning by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
Flexible programs
Linfield offers accredited degree programs, nursing programs, online accredited programs and online certificate programs.

Unwavering Allegiance
Unwavering Allegiance
With Linfield’s financial efforts, Tyler Bergeron '21 has been able to live out the four years of college he worked for as a United States Marine. “I’m very fortunate and grateful that Linfield is a yellow ribbon school,” he says. “Without that, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
Small Town Heroes
Small Town Heroes
While military service affords many the opportunity for higher education, veterans say they often struggle to access resources and find a community on campus. Linfield President Miles K. Davis, a U.S. Navy veteran himself, understands how important it is to extend a hand to students and potential students who might arrive with life experiences very different from an 18-year-old high school graduate.
