Welcome

The mission of the Veterans Affairs Office at UMass Amherst is to assist veterans, guardsmen, and reservists in taking full advantage of the educational benefits available to them through the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and other programs. We also help students make the transition from active military duty to UMass Amherst, and from UMass Amherst to active military duty. Whether you are a new student who has completed your service, a student who has interrupted your education to serve and are now returning, or a student who began your studies elsewhere and are transferring here, we will help guide you to the resources you need to make the most of your UMass Amherst experience.

This Web site is a first stop for information about VA benefits, with links and contact information for the offices and organizations that will serve you further. Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions and concerns. We look forward to working with you as you complete your UMass Amherst education.
