Veterans Services
Welcome to our military service members from all branches, active duty as well as retired. Mines enrolls over 200 students who utilize the various veterans’ and tuition assistance programs. This website is intended to help you find the resources you need to succeed at Mines. Thank you for your service to our nation.
Active Service Members are encouraged to speak with their Educational Services Officer (ESO) or a counselor within their Military Service before enrolling at the Colorado School of Mines about the potential for using Military Tuition Assistance. For additional educational financial assistance, a financial aid counselor is available to provide scholarship and loan counseling in our Financial Aid Office. To apply, visit the Financial Aid page.
