[Adelphi has] fostered an environment where I’m able to take blended courses. I can actually take classes online, from my living room, where I can raise my daughter at the same time.

We can also help you determine if any past college education or any of your military training or service could be transferred into Adelphi and used to fulfill program requirements.
Despite physical and mental health challenges stemming from his time in the military, Gavin Walters, MSW ’20, is now thriving as director of a veterans program in two counties in New York state and facilitator of a coalition that covers the entire state. Adelphi’s Hudson Valley Center—and an exceptionally dedicated professor—made a life-changing difference for Walters.
Sorting through the many types of veteran education benefits offered by the VA, determining which ones you are eligible for and what they can be used for might seem overwhelming. We’re here to make the process easier. We’ll thoroughly explain your options and work to make the financial aid process easier to understand.
Adelphi is a Yellow Ribbon School, which means eligible veteran and military students might have access to additional funds that could cover tuition, room and board, study abroad and other costs associated with an undergraduate or graduate degree program.
[The Yellow Ribbon Program] was able to help me match a tuition rate that the Post-9/11 GI Bill® wasn’t able to cover on its own.
