Active Duty, Military-Connected & Veterans
We consider it a true honor to welcome those who have served, or are currently serving, God and our country in the armed forces. Here, students who are military-connected (veterans, active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members, and military dependents) will find the community, support, and resources you need to thrive at SEU. No matter how you learn with SEU, our entire community is here to support you every step of the way.
Southeastern University is approved for the certification of students who are eligible to receive educational assistance from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD Tuition Assistance). To learn about your benefits under the GI Bill®, visit the website for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Students using tuition assistance should first check with their Education Service Officer (ESO) within their military unit for approval.
To use your VA benefits, you must first apply to SEU. Once you have applied to SEU and saved your spot, you can begin the VA benefits process.
Here’s how to get started:
At Southeastern University, we’re committed to supporting our veteran and military-connected students. Our VA School Certifying team is here to assist you in navigating your VA education benefits and other financial aid options that can help cover your tuition and related educational costs.
Before we recommend, offer, arrange, or enroll any service members in private student loans, we ensure that you have received access to institutional financial aid counseling. This includes:

Active Duty Military: militarybenefits@seu.edu
* Southeastern University personnel are not employees of the Department of Veteran Affairs, and therefore do not have access to veterans’ records. However, the certifying official will certify class enrollment to the Veterans Administration in Atlanta and monitor academic progress.
SEU is proud to expand support for our military-connected community. Whether you’re on active duty, a veteran, a reservist, or a dependant, we offer dedicated email addresses to best serve you.
In addition, here are helpful contacts for general student support across campus:

SEU offers a variety of support resources (both through the university and trusted third-party partners), to help military members, veterans, and their families succeed in their academic and career goals.
Mentorship is an essential part of the SEU experience. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with faculty and staff who have served in the military and understand your unique journey. Whether you’re looking for guidance, encouragement, or simply someone who “gets it,” we’re here for you.
To be connected with a mentor, reach out to the Student Veterans Association at sva@seu.edu, and we’ll pair you with someone who can walk alongside you during your time at SEU.

Southeastern University’s chapter of the SVA is a student-run organization dedicated to providing practical guidance with military benefits while also offering support through prayer, Bible study, spiritual mentorship, and community. The SVA chapter at SEU creates space for veterans to connect, raise awareness on campus of veteran issues, and serve local veterans through outreach and advocacy.

At Southeastern University, students have the opportunity to participate in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) through two distinct pathways: Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC.
In partnership with Florida Southern College
Southeastern University partners with Florida Southern College (FSC) to offer students access to one of the nation’s premier leadership development programs, Army ROTC. Established in 1951, FSC’s Army ROTC program prepares students to become leaders in both military and civilian careers. Army ROTC equips you with the skills, discipline, and leadership training that are highly valued in any career field.
Through this partnership, SEU students can pursue their degree while simultaneously working toward a commission as a United States Army Officer. Army ROTC also offers scholarships and financial incentives depending on a student’s academic level.

In Partnership with the University of South Florida via Transient Enrollment
SEU students may also pursue Air Force ROTC through transient enrollment at USF. While SEU does not currently host an Air Force ROTC detachment on campus, students are eligible to enroll in AFROTC courses at USF.
If you’re interested in learning more about the USF Air Force ROTC opportunity and how to get started, please visit this website. You can contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@seu.edu for guidance on the transient process.
