April is Month of the Military Child, and at UAB, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the youngest members of our military family! 💜

Military children face unique challenges—from frequent moves to long deployments—yet they handle it all with incredible strength and resilience. To all the "military brats" in our UAB community: we see you, we honor your sacrifice, and we are proud to have you here.

Don't forget to verify your benefits at the end of each month to receive your stipend!

Don’t forget! As of January 2026, all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) education beneficiaries, including Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance (Chapter 35) students, must verify their enrollment each month to receive benefit payments.

When it comes to verifying, you have options for what works best for you – verify via text, email, online, or through Ask VA.

Career development should be accessible and flexible. Google Career Certificates offered through SVA are fully online and self‑paced, allowing student veterans to learn in a way that fits their current commitments.

“We are proud to offer such world-class educational opportunities that impact the lives and later careers of our students both in person and virtually.”
