VUB-College Access

Veterans Upward Bound Program

The Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) program offers free training and development sessions for the academic areas in which our admission application requires proficiency. The program also provides short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are high school graduates or GED recipients but have delayed their pursuit of college. VUB assists veterans in securing support services from other locally available resources, including the Veterans Administration, state veterans agencies, veteran associations, and other state and local agencies that serve veterans. Contact Veterans Upward Bound at 404-413-1712 for help starting your academic journey.

The GREEN ZONE

The Green Zone

Military and veteran students often face unique challenges or concerns when transitioning from military life to college or civilian life. The Green Zone program was created so Georgia State staff and faculty might gain an increased awareness and education of military culture and veterans trying to re-acclimate to civilian and college life.

Wherever you see a Green Zone sticker outside an office, classroom, and/or on a syllabus, you’ve found an official Green Zone – a place where student veterans can go for guidance, assistance and understanding. This not only helps faculty and staff provide supportive services necessary to ensure that military-connected students are successful in their academic pursuits, but it is just another way Georgia State wants to be supportive of those who have sacrificed so much for others. Thank you for your Service!

For staff and faculty to request enrollment in the Green Zone Training, please send an email to Mark Eister.
