OUR “WHY”
Why we started—and why we continue
Our Mission
The Suited Soldier provides direct financial support to verified student veterans who experience gaps in their GI Bill benefits. These gaps occur throughout the academic year and can leave veterans without the income they rely on to cover essentials like housing, food, and transportation.
We partner with local institutions, starting with California State University, Fullerton, to identify veterans who need support. Once the school verifies their veteran status and confirms a lapse in benefits, we step in with financial assistance so they can stay enrolled and stay on track to graduate.
We don’t tell veterans what path to choose. We simply give them the stability to choose their own.
