Veterans Services

Concord University is proud to welcome all Veterans and their families. For more information, please contact our Veteran Certifying Official or our Veterans Advocate – George Williams for assistance. Each division also has a faculty veterans representative.

Food Pantry

The purpose of the CU Food Pantry is to provide CU students who may not always have the resources to buy food or other essential items. If a student is hungry, it is unlikely they will be able to focus on doing what it takes to be a successful college student. Ensuring that students do not go hungry is one additional way we can support our students at Concord.

Student Basic Needs

Basic needs may include food, housing, clothing, childcare, transportation, or other financial resources. Across the U.S. nearly 3 in 5 college students experience basic needs insecurity (#RealCollege Survey). At Concord, a recent survey revealed that 50% of CU students have faced some sort of basic needs insecurity. Our goal is to provide you with available resources and services to ensure you can be successful students. Visit our webpage to see how we can help.
