Colorado State University is offering free admission to select performing arts and athletic events for qualifying disabled military veterans.
The offer is for veterans who have received a disability rating of 50 percent or more from the Veterans Administration.
This marks another effort by CSU to keep its position as a leader among military-friendly colleges and universities in Colorado and across the nation, said CSU president Tony Frank.
“These veterans have made incredible sacrifices in service to our nation, and this is one simple way we can show them how much we appreciate all they have done,” said Frank. “Quite honestly, it is just a good idea and we wanted to get it done.”
Eligible veterans have to be honorably discharged and have a 50 percent or more disability rating. Qualifying veterans are asked to bring their DD-214 and their letter detailing their disability rating to the Office of Adult Learners and Veteran Services for verification.
Once verified, eligible veterans can contact the CSU Athletics Box Office and the University Center for the Arts Box Office for a list of events for which tickets may be redeemed.
Two tickets — one for a veteran one of their guest — can be redeemed for each event. Listings of events for which eligible disabled veterans may obtain tickets are available on the University Center for the Arts’ box office website at and the CSU Athletics’ box office at .
