The RISE Research Lab is focused on the study of mental and physical health concerns of LGBTQ+ people over the lifespan, identifying factors and processes that that contribute to health disparities between LGBTQ+ and heterosexual/cisgender populations, and developing strategies to address these disparities and promote health and well-being among LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and communities.
Palo Alto University (PAU), a private, non-profit university located in the heart of Northern California’s Silicon Valley, is dedicated to addressing pressing and emerging issues in the mental and behavioral health sciences to equitably meet the needs of today’s diverse communities. PAU offers undergraduate and graduate programs with online, hybrid and residential options.
People consult the IT Help Desk in many ways: telephone, electronically, or by visiting our office at the main campus in the Facilities Office outside the library. We have the collective expertise to help you with your computing needs. We can also re-route issues to other service areas when necessary. Our goal is to be welcoming and quick in our initial response, thoughtful in the problem solving process, and reliable in our follow-up.
The purpose of SVO is to provide PAU's military veteran students with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and following graduation; to provide veteran and non-veteran students with information on veterans' issues, including behavioral health related research and military/veteran cultural concerns; and to link veteran and non-veteran students with the local veteran community through events and volunteering opportunities.
Palo Alto University is committed to providing seamless transitions for students who are recalled for military service and their return to the university after deployment. We will ensure students do not face an academic disadvantage as a result of being called to national or international service. When a student (or family member) receives recall orders to active duty or orders to deploy, the student can withdraw from the university with a 100% refund and without financial penalty.
Palo Alto University is proud to announce its continued support of the military student population through its participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a provision of the Post 9/11 GI Bill. This participation covers tuition and fee charges in excess of the annual cap/maximum amount paid by the VA, established for the Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33). Each year, when/if the VA pays out the annual cap amount, this agreement states that PAU will financially provide 50% of remaining tuition and fees, and the VA will provide the other 50%.

Are you thinking about becoming a clinical or counseling psychologist? Would a scholarship that pays 100% tuition, books, and most fees help reach your goal?
There are different HPSP Scholarship programs, each with specific durations, and service commitments. Each military branch has specific requirements to qualify for HPSP. If you are interested in applying or have been awarded an HPSP, please contact PAU Veteran Student Services.
