About

Empower App State Student Veterans

Stand with the student veterans who are an essential part of our Mountaineer community. These students bring leadership, resilience and a deep commitment to service, and we are proud to support them as they pursue their academic and career goals.

One of the most meaningful ways to make an impact is through a gift to Student Veteran Services and the Continuing the Mission Fund. This fund provides direct support that helps student veterans thrive on campus and beyond.

Your gift helps provide:

  • Transition support as veterans move from military service to academic life
  • Professional development opportunities including conferences, networking and career preparation
  • Community‑building programs that foster connection, belonging, and well‑being
  • Resources within the Student Veteran Resource Center, a dedicated space where veterans can study, connect and access support

Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens the network of care that surrounds our student veterans and ensures they have the tools they need to succeed.

Continue the mission with us. Honor their service by supporting their next chapter.



The Continuing the Mission Fund removes financial barriers to NatCon — the Student Veterans of America National Conference. Through your support, Mountaineer veterans attend this premier event at no cost, gaining direct access to elite career fairs, industry recruiters, and transition workshops. This investment does more than build resumes; it fosters a vital sense of belonging and empowers our student veterans to lead successful civilian lives long after graduation.
