GIVE BACK TO THOSE THAT GIVE SO MUCH

As we approach Veteran's Day, Purdue is offering you the opportunity to give back to those that give so much. It's impossible to truly convey our gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Will you join us in saying thank you by making a gift to one of our military programs below? 

You can provide military students, alumni, and their families with affordable education opportunities and the support that they need—both on and off campus. 

For more than two decades, MFRI has touched the lives of millions of service members, veterans, and family members. Too often the problem isn’t that a needed program or service doesn’t exist, but that families aren’t able to access them when they need help the most. We are committed to fixing this.

By making a gift to MFRI today, you can support our Reaching Rural Veterans program, which connects low-resource veterans living in rural areas with benefits and services they have earned. With your help, we can provide food, healthcare, and financial support to all underserved veterans. 

Purdue Military Research Institute (PMRI) 

with the College of Engineering

Established in 2014, PMRI is working to address the narrowing gap between the advanced technology capabilities of the United States and our strategic rivals. The program actively partners with the U.S. military to provide officers with advanced degrees in science, technology, and entrepreneurship. 

Our nation needs more military officers with advanced degrees. Superior education and training are what allows our military to keep us safe at home and abroad. Help provide military officers with a tuition-free Purdue degree by making a gift to PMRI today. 

Military Association

with the School of Management

As a newer organization on campus, the Military Association is working to support veteran and active-duty military students and improve their experience at the School of Management. The program was designed to enhance and contribute to students’ academic and career success.  

By making a gift to the Military Association, you can provide veterans with immersive leadership and networking opportunities and help them learn how to transition back to civilian life.

Veterans Success Center 

with Student Success Programs

The Veterans Success Center provides military, veteran, and military-connected family members with access to education benefits, personal development opportunities, and peer networking. Their mission is to empower students by providing a wide array of support services. 

By making a gift to the Veterans Success Center, you can help improve access, graduation, and employment opportunities for military students at Purdue.

Purdue ROTC 

with the Purdue Polytechnic Institute

Naval/Marine

Naval ROTC is committed to providing the very best qualified officers for service in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. We want to expand our current scholarship program to increase our number of incoming students, but we need your support to do it. You can provide students with a fully-funded undergraduate education and military training at Purdue.

The Navy Enlisted Science Education Program (NESEP) Award helps support men and women who are members of the NROTC program. 

Air Force

Air Force ROTC’s mission is to inspire, develop, and commission Purdue University cadets as United States Air and Space Force officers who are ready to meet our Nation’s security challenges. Any donation goes back to our cadets and their training, updating our facilities, and/or revitalizing technology. 

Army

Army ROTC prepares cadets with the tools, training, and experiences that help them succeed in any competitive environment. Assist us in our mission of training tomorrow’s leaders by supporting our Tri-Svc Leadership Fund today, which helps with purchases used for academic enhancement.
