Student Veterans Resource Center

Student Veterans Resource Center


The Students Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) at the University of Michigan-Flint opened in October 2009.  Our mission is to assist students with obtaining their VA educational benefits, be a liason between the student and the campus community when it is needed and provide a safe place where veterans can study, hang-out between classes and network with their fellow student veterans.  The center currently houses two computers and a printer for student veterans to utilize for their studies.  We have a 36in television and an X-Box 360 to use in your down-time from studying. 

The SVRC will also assist you with applying to use your benefits through the VA, filling out your FASFA forms, registering for classes, determining which VA education benefit is right for you and working with the VA regarding payment issues. 

We have also established a network with many VA representatives in Michigan in order to provide contacts to Veterans who are experiencing difficulties with resolving non-education VA claims. 

 

***Student Veterans are defined as: Former military veterans (all branches - regardless of combat or field deployment time, National Guard members, Reserve component members, dependants, and spouses)***

 

 

Knowing who to contact is almost as important as attending classes. These individuals will help guide you through your time at UM-Flint.
