UNT is ranked among the top schools for veterans to earn a degree, and those who excel in their education receive support through the UNT chapter of the SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society. The honor society recognizes American active military and student veterans who show exemplary work in their academic careers by maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher as an undergraduate and a GPA of 3.5 or higher as a graduate student.

UNT’s chapter inducts new members each fall and spring. Each new member receives a certificate, a challenge coin and a medallion to be worn at Commencement. UNT has been recognized as a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs and a Best for Vets School by Military Times EDGE two years in a row. More than 2,500 members of the military community and their families are served through the UNT Veterans Center.
