Our Veterans

At Aquinas, we take great pride in the service and sacrifice of our alumni who have served in the military. We recognize and honor their contributions in several meaningful ways:

Recognition Programs: We recognize military alumni and veterans through various recognition programs, including alumni newsletters and publications, social media posts, and special ceremonies at alumni events.

Veterans Scholarships: To honor the memory of alumni who have passed away in wars, we offer our veterans scholarship. This scholarship will serve as a living memorial to honor all Aquinas alumni who have served in the military. Let’s pause and reflect on past losses and contributions of Aquinas Alumni Veterans, while being ever mindful of the potential for future sacrifices.

The recipients of the Veterans of The Aquinas Institute Scholarship Fund will be awarded to dependents of veterans, with preference given to children and grandchildren of Aquinas Alumni Veterans.

Remembrance Initiatives: We participate in remembrance initiatives such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day, where we honor all those who have served and sacrificed for our country. These events serve as a reminder of the courage and dedication of our military alumni.

We are grateful for the service and sacrifice of our military alumni and veterans. Their contributions to our country and our community will never be forgotten, and we are proud to honor their memory in meaningful and lasting ways.
