We help students use all the veteran benefits available to them, including but not limited to Vocational Rehab (Chapter 31), Montgomery GI Bill® (Chapter 30), Reserve GI Bill® (Chapter 1606), and NYS Veterans’ Tuition Award.
The pressures you face balancing your service, relationships, work, and school obligations are a serious challenge. It is our goal to provide the support and resources to help you manage your responsibilities and well-being.
From our dedicated Veteran Center to the Saint Rose Chapter of Student Veterans of America - we’re committed to helping you develop your unique skills, experiences and perspectives into an education and career you will be proud of.
Take a look at our Saint Rose veteran alumni, who have forged their own paths to not only reach, but surpass the goals they've set, and continue to make us proud. See examples of real career success from the FBI, STEM research, to graphic design.

Only a veteran can understand the issues, challenges, and experiences of other veterans. Which is why we’re proud to have Martin Dinan as our Director of Veteran Enrollment along with our new Assistant Director Nick Lanier, both combat veterans of the U.S. Army. In addition to helping veterans when they come to Saint Rose as students, our Veteran Enrollment staff helps prospective students through the admissions process, advocating for them when necessary.
“Veterans bring a strong sense of teamwork and a strong sense of something bigger than themselves. They learn that there’s just something bigger out there – whether it’s the country, whether it’s pride of having served.”
Not only does Marty love the veterans who come to Saint Rose as part of their shift into civilian life, he understands them. He’s a veteran of three wars, deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1991 with later deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. He was promoted to Colonel in the New York Army National Guard in 2013. He spent 19 years as a police officer, all while serving as a commissioned officer in various command and staff positions. He’s served in the active Army, the Reserves and the National Guard.
"I often joke that my military experience is coded into my genetic makeup. Although there’s some truth to that, my military experience is only part of me. Not the whole me."
Nick is a combat veteran of the U.S Army who was deployed to the Korean DMZ and Iraq, retiring as a noncommissioned officer in 2012 after 13 years of military service. A former US history and social-studies teacher he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science, international relations and history, at Saint Leo University, graduating magna cum laude, in 2015.
