Our Purpose
Where Service Meets Scholarship
Princeton Student Veterans bridges the gap between military service and academic life. Our members bring unique experience, leadership, and dedication to Princeton’s campus — and PSV ensures they never navigate this transition alone.
Whether you’re a veteran, active-duty service member, military spouse, or simply someone who supports those who served — PSV welcomes you.
“Our veterans don’t just bring their service record to Princeton — they bring perspective, resilience, and a sense of mission that enriches everything we do.”
