Military Student Community

Because community and camaraderie are so important to our vision at Grace and your transition as a student, we created a place for the veteran students to interact. The Veteran Student Lounge, located in the basement of Westminster Hall, provides a perfect place for veteran students to come and relax between classes, eat, do homework, and spend time with other veteran students.

We understand that military students face unique challenges. For this reason, Grace has established a team to better serve students that are on active-duty, retired military and students of military families. 

From answering questions concerning VA benefits, assistance in the financial process, connecting students to a variety of resources, and providing support for students with community and connection, VA Student Services is determined to equip military students for success and excellence. 

For additional resources offered, please visit the Support Services page: https://www.grace.edu/admissions/students/military-students/support-services/

Military discounts at local restaurants, home improvement stores, movies and more.

We have a very supportive community that comes alongside Military and Veterans by offering discounts on products and services. Present your Military card and Grace ID card at a local business to see if they offer discounts.

“The Veteran Lounge gives me a place to connect to people who understand what is going on in my life. A big part of that are things that most people have a hard time understanding. It has helped me create new and lasting friendships and given me a support system that I had at home and didn’t here.”

“The lounge is a great place to come and relax and watch a game or movie. Thank you for serving us in this way.”

“I was in town this afternoon and had a paper I needed to finish.  I remembered this Veteran’s Lounge was available and thought I would try it out. All I can say is WOW! Nice job to the individuals who are responsible for this. It makes my heart feel good that Grace College is reaching out to their Veteran Students in such a way. For traditional Veteran Students I imagine this provision to be invaluable. I appreciate belonging to an institution that holds to traditional values and appreciates the contributions and sacrifices of Veterans. Again, I would like to thank Grace College, its staff, and administrators for providing such a facility. It means more than you know.”

“The VA Lounge is a great place to study with friends, relax, and enjoy the company of other veterans. This lounge is a great place to spend my time whether I am studying or taking a break. I personally am very grateful for this lounge and the support I have gotten from the VA department at Grace.”
