SUNY Brockport has been recognized as one of the nation’s best colleges for veterans in Military Times’ annual Best for Vets rankings.
The rankings evaluate institutions nationwide through a comprehensive survey that examines how colleges serve military-connected students. The rankings emphasize student success, military-specific resources, and financial assistance, while also considering admissions and registration policies, human resources, and recordkeeping.

SUNY Brockport’s Veteran Services team builds relationships with the regional military community and connects prospective and current students with resources they need to succeed. The team participates in local and regional organizations and initiatives, including the Brockport Area Vets Club, the Military Officers Association of America Genesee Chapter, Pound the Ground, and Stand Down.
Representatives from local, regional, and state veterans’ organizations and resource providers also visit campus weekly to provide students with access to services and support.
The University’s military-connected student population has also seen significant growth, nearly doubling to 434 students in Fall 2026. This population includes veterans, active-duty service members, and spouses and dependent children of veterans and active-duty service members.
The recognition reflects Brockport’s efforts to support military-connected students from enrollment through graduation and prepare them for success beyond the classroom.
