Service. Integrity. Honor.

These virtues drive you to work hard and press on  and your sacrifice doesn’t go unnoticed.

At Liberty, we offer some of the lowest tuition rates for military members and their families:


At Liberty University, it’s our privilege to serve those entrusted to us.

We work hard to ensure that those who have dedicated their lives to the good of others can continue to succeed — in any field.

“We in the military understand what personal sacrifice is. The valor, the character, the selflessness, the commitment that we all must give to our country is what you brought to the education process. There are people all around the globe right now, military members, taking the God-given character that you have and applying it to their education, and we are so proud of you.”

– Dr. Steven Keith
Director of the Liberty University Center for Chaplaincy
