Veterans Student Services

College life can be quite different than life in the military. Texas Woman's University is committed to those who have served our country with a dedicated office to guide veterans as they transition from boots to books. If you or someone in your family has served in the military, please contact Amanda Nolen to receive your personal welcome and guide to relevant resources.
