Experience Stern | News & Events

This Veterans Day and every day NYU Stern thanks all those who have served, including U.S. Military veteran and active duty Stern students and alumni.

Stern supports its military veteran community. In 2016, thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Lorenzo (MBA ‘93) and brother Frank J. Fertitta III, the School established the Fertitta Veterans Program to support U.S. Military veteran and active duty Full-time MBA students in their transition to business school. The Fertitta Veterans Program is an intensive summer program, and military students who are accepted into the program are eligible to receive the Fertitta Veterans Scholarship.
