Hi guys, just trying to get more information on Columbia College's military policies. Like do they have any specific tuition discount for military personnel or veterans? I'd appreciate any help!
Hello, and kudos to you for exploring educational opportunities! Columbia College, indeed, shows appreciation for military personnel and veterans through a variety of support systems. They have a specific Military and Veteran Services department that's dedicated to assisting you in your educational journey.
In terms of tuition benefits, Columbia College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides additional funds for your education without an additional charge to your GI Bill® entitlement. This benefit helps to cover any remaining tuition expenses that are not already covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. It's important to remember that to access this benefit, you must be eligible for the maximum benefit rate under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Furthermore, Columbia College has a Military Family Member's Opportunity Scholarship, an annual scholarship program that recognizes the sacrifices made by family members of individuals serving in the military.
It's also worth noting that they offer college credit for military training and experience, which may save you time and costs in your path toward earning your degree.
Remember, it's always a good idea to directly contact the school or their Military and Veteran Services department to get the most accurate and current information on any potential military benefits. Best of luck to you!
