Seminole State United Assistance for Veterans
Your Organization
Founded in 2023, The United Assistance for Veterans Club (UAV) is a welcoming community for student veterans, active duty service members, military dependents, and supporters at Seminole State College of Florida.
Our mission is to create connection, encourage academic success, and help members navigate the transition between military, civilian, and college life. Through social gatherings, community service, educational resources, professional networking, and campus events, UAV provides a space where members can build friendships, find support, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
Whether you served, grew up in a military family, or simply want to support those who have served, you are welcome here. UAV works alongside students, faculty, college administrators, veterans' organizations, and community partners to ensure that Seminole State's military-connected students feel recognized, supported, and empowered.
Together, we honor service, strengthen our community, and help every member move confidently toward graduation and their next chapter.
The primary mission of UAV is to foster camaraderie, provide vital support, and create a strong social network for Seminole State student veterans. Our goal is to assist student veterans in achieving their educational objectives and ease their transition into civilian life.

Why be a part of this organization?
Being a part of something was one of the reasons you joined the military. Once you separated, that feeling of belonging is still there, but difficult to find. That's why you should join.
We don't just want to become a place that isolates student veterans, we want you to help you integrate into the civilian community.
We will do this by
- fostering camaraderie
- providing vital support
- creating a strong social network for Seminole State student veterans both on and off campus
