Heidelberg serves active duty military personnel and veterans.

Heidelberg participates in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program for veterans, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. As Yellow Ribbon Program participants, U.S. degree-granting institutions voluntarily enter into an agreement with the Veterans Administration to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution.
