The University of Arkansas strives to provide the best possible services to help military-affiliated students achieve personal and academic success. Whether it's pre-college preparation through the Veterans Upward Bound Program or academic support through the one-stop shop Military-Affiliated Student Center, military-affiliated students will receive individualized assistance to meet their specific needs. Additionally, the University Awards the Chancellor's Challenge Coin, honoring the sacrifices veterans make to defend our nation and to celebrate their successful academic transition and degree completion. In recognition of military service, every service member and veteran receives a veteran honor cord to wear during graduation ceremonies.
