The Student Veterans Association, formed by a group of students and a member of the Student Veterans of America, is very active on campus and promotes understanding and awareness for all veterans attending Monmouth University.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight of Monmouth&#8217;s military-friendliness is the Military Bridge Program, which allows undergraduate students who do not meet Monmouth&#8217;s traditional admission requirements to enroll for a transitional semester; students become fully matriculated after earning satisfactory grades. Monmouth is also a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program. This program, a partnership between the Veterans Administration and Monmouth University, enables veterans to attend a private institution.\u00a0\u00a0Monmouth University contributes matching funds necessary to supplement the veterans&#8217; educational benefits to cover the full cost of tuition and fees.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Monmouth University&#8217;s Coordinator of Veteran Services Jeff Hood at 732-263-5258 or e-mail to <a href=\"mailto:jhood@monmouth.edu\">jhood@monmouth.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monmouth University was recognized as one of the country\u2019s top colleges for our nation\u2019s veterans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"person":[],"audience":[14,17,11,8],"school":[],"program":[],"class_list":["post-40802192512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","mediacontact-petra-ludwig","audience-alumni","audience-community-member","audience-current-student","audience-faculty"],"squareimage":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40802192512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40802192512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40802192512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40802223839,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40802192512\/revisions\/40802223839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40802192512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40802192512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40802192512"},{"taxonomy":"person","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person?post=40802192512"},{"taxonomy":"audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/audience?post=40802192512"},{"taxonomy":"school","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/school?post=40802192512"},{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=40802192512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
