Welcome
Lesley University is committed to providing our nation’s veterans and their families with the educational services needed to reach their professional goals. Whether you are entering college for the first time, or returning to school after deployment, we look forward to helping you find a program to meet your needs.
Lesley University offers a variety of programs popular with veterans, including education, counseling, expressive therapies, and environmental sciences. You also have the option to work with an advisor to create a unique program of study based on your specific interests.
Courses eligible for veteran benefits are offered on campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, online, and through Lesley University’s partnership with Tacoma Community College in Washington.
Financial Benefits
Lesley University works with federal, state, and local veteran service agencies to ensure that our prospective students are aware of all educational benefits and financial aid opportunities.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs administers a variety of education benefit programs, each with a different set of criteria. The most widely used benefit is the Post-9/11 GI Bill, a program for individuals who served on active duty after September 10, 2001.
Lesley University proudly maintains 100% participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs program that makes it possible for eligible veterans to earn a degree for free. Learn more about Lesley University's participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
