Veterans

The shift from a military setting to an academic environment can be very difficult. The UIUC Chez Center for Veterans is dedicated to supporting student-veterans through this process. Their services include transition programs to set up VA benefits, support in finding housing, peer mentoring, counseling, and more.

The Veterans Care program provides affordable healthcare to uninsured veterans in Illinois.
