Veteran Support at the College of the Mainland?

Hey all, hope you're surviving junior year! My cousin is a veteran, and his experiences got me thinking about military service after grad. Noticed College of the Mainland has some military veteran support programs but can't find much about it online. Can anyone here give me some details about what they offer veterans, and potentially, their families?

Hello there! It's great to know that you're considering both academic and military paths. While it's true that I may not have all the specifics about the services offered to veterans at College of the Mainland, I can talk about some typical support that colleges often provide to veterans, and what you might expect.

Firstly, many schools have a Veterans Services Office or equivalent. This office usually facilitates things like course registration, tuition payment, and consultations about benefits. Sometimes, colleges also offer dedicated counseling services to veterans, to help cater to their unique needs and transition experiences.

In addition, colleges often facilitate academic support for veterans. This could range from tutoring to academic advising. Some schools also offer 'veterans-only' courses or sections of courses, providing a cohort of classmates who may have similar experiences.

Outside the classroom, some schools have special orientation programs for veterans, student veterans organizations, and events for veterans. These activities provide a community for veterans on campus.

Regarding benefits for families, it depends on the specifics of the GI Bill benefits the veteran has earned. Some forms of these benefits can be transferred to dependents, allowing for reduced tuition. It would be best to reach out to the College of the Mainland's veterans services office for specific information.

This is just a rough overview, and each school's offerings will differ. You should reach out directly to College of the Mainland's Veteran Services office for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
