Certifying Officials work for UTSA — not the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
UTSA certifies more Veterans & their family members utilizing their educational benefits than any other University in the State of Texas.
VetSuccess on Campus
The VetSuccess on Campus program (view flyer--PDF) is a collaborative effort between The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with the purpose of providing a supportive on-campus environment for student veterans. VA has placed two full-time Vocational Counselors on the UTSA Campus to assist Veterans, active duty military and their eligible family members who attend or plan to attend UTSA.
For more information, assistance or to schedule an appointment, contact your VetSuccess on Campus Counselors at UTSA.

Support Roadrunners Who Served
The war doesn’t always end when the servicemember leaves the battlefield. The transition from military to civilian is never easy and affects each person differently. In addition to the difficult transition, many student veterans have obligations beyond those of a traditional college student. 100% of your donation goes to UTSA student veterans with emergent needs including housing, food, emergency vehicle repairs, and assistance with utilities. Help support those Roadrunner who served.
