    This article addresses the current culture and circumstances of veterans and military students who are using educational benefits to attend college. The use of federal educational benefits (tuition assistance for active duty, and G.I. Bill for veterans) carries benefits and challenges that are unique to this population of students. This population of students require more flexibility and access than traditional college students due to: military culture of training, deployment cycles, natural disaster relief responders, and being adult learners. A significant and increasing number of veteran and military members are choosing to attend online colleges (mostly for-profit institutions) for degree attainment. Many schools are developing programs developed specifically to enroll veteran and military students, this article provides the example what Western Carolina State University has done to develop programming to support and encourage veteran and military students to attend their campus.
