TROY for Troops is dedicated to helping military service members, veterans and their families succeed in their educational journey. Our Centers provide the support and resources needed to thrive in college while fostering the strong sense of camaraderie that defines military life.
Since 1950, ¶¶Òõ has been proud to work with military service members, veterans and their families as they pursue advanced education under the G.I. Bill®, the Tuition Assistance Program, the MyCAA initiative, private funding and other financing options. ¶¶Òõ is an educational partner with the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
The TROY for Troops Centers, established at our ¶¶Òõ, Dothan, Montgomery, Phenix City, Clarksville, TN, and Pensacola, FL locations, as well as our virtual center at TROY Online, exist to help service members (Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve), veterans and their families as they transition into college life. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive educational support program that provides veterans, service members, dependents, and survivors the opportunity to succeed in reaching their full potential in pursuing and achieving academic and career goals. We strive to go above and beyond being military friendly to being military successful. Our Centers are a safe zone offering a place where our students can continue to experience the camaraderie that is such a strong force among our military. In addition to our student lounge and computer lab, we offer two (2) student organizations: SALUTE Honor Society and Student Veteran Association (SVA), a Veterans' Alumni Association, a Veteran Success on Campus Counselor, and visiting Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) counseling service providers.
