Southeast Region Select School Badge

The southeastern United States is home to more military installations than any other part of the country. If you’re in the service, there are good odds you will spend some time at one of them… a Coast Guard station watching out for mariners on the storm-tossed Gulf, one of the many Navy and Marine outposts along the Chesapeake, or a hopping Army training facility somewhere in the Carolinas.

The concentration of military bases in the South is a legacy going back to the Second World War. Warm temperatures allowed for year-round training for the flood of service members joining up in those years, while the Gulf coast provided safe harbors for Navy installations.

Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia are three of the top five states for the highest per capita distribution of troops stationed in the United States. That means that most service members will probably be stationed in this area for at least some of their term of service. Some of them decide to stick around. There’s something about the long leaf pines around Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, or the way the sunset gleams on the wave tops off NAS Pensacola that just makes you want to settle down here. And Southern hospitality, particularly for members of the military, is hard to leave behind!

There are plenty of legendary educational institutions around here too Vanderbilt, Campbellsville … military friendly schools with strong research and academic credentials, and an even stronger commitment to serving military affiliated students.

How We Identified the Most Military-Supportive Universities in the Southeastern U.S.

You deserve a school that goes out of its way to show respect for your military service; one that knows exactly how to put your education benefits to work to ensure you get the most from the benefits you’ve earned.

Every school listed here offers Yellow Ribbon program funding to every eligible applicant, and fully funds that program to cover all tuition over and above what your regular GI Bill® benefits cover.

This is something that opens up opportunities to attend elite private schools throughout the Southeast that might otherwise be out of reach for many service members.

But free tuition through the Yellow Ribbon Program isn’t the only benefit theses schools offer. You’ll find they all go the extra mile to provide:

The fact that these schools don’t place caps on the tuition benefits they offer through the Yellow Ribbon offers an unparalleled opportunity to attend some of the most expensive schools in the country without spending a dime… while the other military friendly policies they have in place provide the kind of supportive environment that service members and vets deserve.
