The Office of Veterans' Services will assist veterans and certain eligible dependents who are entitled to educational benefits studying at SUNY Oswego under various programs administered by the Veterans' Benefits Administration. The office can help students through the entire process from determining eligibility to receiving educational assistance benefits. Benefits are based on a student’s status: full-time, part-time, or less than part-time.

Those interested in veterans' benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill (Active Duty or Selected Reserve) should visit the Office of Veterans' Services in 206F Culkin Hall during posted business hours. Office staff includes students who have served in the armed forces and stand ready to help others receive the full benefits that they have earned. Students may reach the Office of Veterans' Services at 312.2231 or via e-mail for further information.
