VETS Academic Support

Supporting Education for Returning Veterans (SERV) Classes

UArizona offers an academic and workforce success program for returning veterans. The program consists of three college-credit, general education courses that will help you convert your military training and experience into lifelong success skills. The program is an on-ramp for getting your college degree and for improving your employability. SERV is meant to equip you with tools necessary to succeed not only academically but to develop proven skills for success in everyday life. For more information, contact Dr. Michael Marks.

VA Work Study Program

If you're using VA Educational Benefits and enrolled at least 3/4 time at the University of Arizona, you may be able to participate in the VA Work Study program here at UArizona! If VETS does not have any positions open, you might be able to find a position in the community. Check with the Tucson VA, Tucson Vet Center, and other veteran-serving programs to see if they've got positions open. Click this link to learn more about the VA Work Study program.

If you would like to seek a VA Work Study position through VETS, we typically look to hire students at the end of each term. The best time to apply is the end of Spring semesters, as VETS Work Study training is conducted over the summer session.
