We’re Grateful for Your Service — Now it’s Our Turn to Serve You.

As a university inspired by your service, we take our commitment to being military-supportive seriously. Not only are our degree plans designed to accommodate frequent changes in duty stations, but we offer military-specific scholarships — like our Heroes Fund Scholarship — and we were named the first Purple Heart University in Virginia.

To show our appreciation for the sacrifices you make daily on behalf of every U.S. citizen, Liberty University offers you a variety of benefits and services. If you are a military service member, veteran, or military spouse, our designated staff — who are specifically trained to serve the military community — are available to answer your questions and help you make the most of your education benefits.

Financial Check-In Guide

The last step to take before beginning your classes is completing Financial Check-In (FCI). This is the final stage of registration and the process through which you confirm your class schedule and make payment arrangements using your military benefits.

It is vital that you complete FCI by the deadline — failure to do so may mean your courses getting dropped and/or a $150 late fee being assessed. As a military student, there may be some additional information you need to know to complete FCI, so please review our Financial Check-In Guide. You can avoid missed Financial Check-In penalties by staying up-to-date with upcoming dates and deadlines.


Heroes Fund Scholarship

At Liberty University, we are continually moved by the selflessness of our men and women in uniform. Each day, you face trying and dangerous circumstances, expecting little in return, so we consider it our privilege to provide you with world-class academic and spiritual training.

Liberty adheres to the highest standards for maintaining its status as a top military-friendly school and has been nationally recognized for its commitment to U.S. service members. 

The Heroes Fund Scholarship is part of this commitment. Established in 2006, this fund enables wounded veterans and spouses of veterans killed in action to secure a college degree without placing a financial strain on their families. To date, the Heroes Fund Scholarship has provided more than $1.3 million for the education of more than 230 deserving men and women. For more information on this scholarship opportunity, visit our Heroes Fund Scholarship page.
