Undergraduate College Partners

What is VetLink?

We have partnered with a growing network of top-tier colleges and universities that are committed to enrolling talented veterans. These schools recognize the value veterans bring to campus, both in and out of the classroom. We work closely with each of our partner schools to support a more informed, holistic admissions process for student veterans.

Through VetLink, you’ll gain:

Direct access to admissions contacts who understand veteran applicants
Help communicating your military experience in a way colleges value
A pathway into schools that want your leadership and lived experience on campus

Aside from Service to School’s normal mentorship service, students are encouraged to use their VetLink program. Service to School VetLink applicants not only work one on one with a mentor, but they also work with a S2S staff member who guides them throughout the entire application process, and directly connects them with the admissions teams at their partner universities. This enables the student to better prepare their application, and each school receives supplemental information on the veteran student which highly increases the student’s chance of being accepted.
