Veterans bring a high level of leadership, teamwork, and grace under pressure to Tuck.
They contribute meaningfully in the classroom as well as to their study groups and project teams. Military MBAs have proven themselves in multiple areas and corporate recruiters value the knowledge and experience they add, gained from their years of service and from their MBA education.
Military Visit Days
Held each fall, this event aims to help active-duty servicemen and servicewomen who are interested in applying to an MBA program. Additionally, it will help you better understand the application process, student experience, and life at Tuck.
Stay tuned for information on future Military Visit Days and virtual events.
Community
Veterans are a vibrant and vital part of what makes the Tuck community distinctive among the world’s top MBA programs. Whether they are sharing their unique leadership skills or demonstrating what it means to be a part of a team, veteran students contribute greatly to the Tuck community.
Coming to Tuck with a partner and/or family? There are many clubs, organizations and resources to make both you and your partner feel part of Tuck and the greater Hanover community from the day you arrive on campus.

"I’ve used so much of what I’ve learned at Tuck. Without those two years, I don’t think that I would be able to do this."
Jarett Berke T'17 | Read his alumni story
"My Tuck experience was pivotal. It marked this transition from my old life into the new. I still carry my military experience with me, but in terms of feeling, emotion, and lifestyle, it feels worlds away—and Tuck fits right in between."

Funding Your MBA
An MBA is a significant investment of time and financial resources. In addition to the financial aid and scholarship opportunities offered, Tuck also participates in the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and Yellow Ribbon Program, which allows institutions to enter into a voluntary agreement with the VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the annual VA cap. Tuck participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) without limitation on the number of veterans enrolled. We are proud to support our veterans, whose strong leadership, sense of responsibility and commitment are qualities that are important to our community. Review information on the Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP), outside scholarships, and more on our Finance Your Degree pages.
