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 have had the privilege of helping many active duty, reserve, veterans, spouses and military dependents pursue their educational dreams.

Military and Veteran Benefits

Veteran Student Account Support

Linfield University is authorized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to certify students who qualify for the Montgomery GI Bill® (Active Duty/Selected Reserves), Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program, Reserve Education Assistance Program, as well as those who qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Yellow Ribbon and Vocational Rehabilitation.

Linfield University gives credit for prior learning for a variety of experiences: on the job training, non-credit workshops, travel, personal interests, life experience, and volunteer responsibilities, as well as for training completed through military service. 

We work with veterans and active-duty personnel all over the world to aid in the access of a quality education at Linfield University by using their GI Bill® benefits.

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.”
