Hey guys! I'm a junior right now and have been considering enlisting after graduation, but I'd really like to pursue higher education as well. Are there any particular colleges in Michigan that are known for being especially friendly or accommodating to military personnel and veterans?
Sure, I can help with that! There are a number of colleges and universities in Michigan that are known for their robust programs and support for current military members and veterans.One notable school is the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. U of M has a veteran and military services program that provides resources to veteran students, including a dedicated support staff and financial aid (including the Yellow Ribbon Program for Veterans).
Michigan State University is another institution recognized for its support for military personnel. They have a dedicated Student Veterans Resource Center, which provides academic, administrative support, and social programming assistance for veterans and active duty military.
Eastern Michigan University also values their military students and veterans. They provide support through a Military and Veteran Services office, coupled with unique scholarship and financial aid opportunities for current and former military.
Central Michigan University offers comprehensive resources for military students, including distance learning opportunities, which is ideal for anyone who might not initially be able to physically attend due to military duties.
Wayne State University, located in downtown Detroit, is dedicated to accommodating military and veteran students through their Office of Military and Veterans Academic Excellence.
Each of these schools also participate in the GI Bill program, which can provide significant financial support for your education after military service.
It's important to check each university's specific programs and offerings to see which fits your needs best. It's also a good idea to reach directly out to these offices at the universities you're interested in, as they can provide you with detailed, personalized information.
