Who We Are
The Office of Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) partners with military-connected students and their families to ensure they navigate the benefits process with confidence.
Through personalized, holistic support, we champion financial wellness by simplifying access to resources such as veterans education benefits, the Tennessee STRONG Act, and university financial obligations.
Collaborating with campus and community partners, the VBA is dedicated to eliminating barriers and equipping student veterans with the tools they need to thrive academically and beyond.
