Hey there! I'm currently serving and thinking about attending Southern New Hampshire University after discharge. Is this institution military-friendly? What sort of resources and supports do they offer for veterans? I'd appreciate any insight!
Southern New Hampshire University is indeed quite military-friendly. They have a reputation for being very supportive of both active military members and veterans.
They have specialized military services teams, who help in navigating tuition assistance, processing VA benefits, and offering other support. Also, if you qualify under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, you may be eligible to have all your tuition costs covered.
There's also a dedicated military benefits team to assist with any inquiries related to tuition support or financial aid. They work with multiple funding sources, including Tuition Assistance, the GI Bill, and scholarships specifically for veterans and military members.
SNHU is also a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) Consortium, aimed at providing educational assistance to servicemembers. It means they're obliged to make your transition smoother and minimize any disruptions to your academic progress due to training, relocation, or deployment.
Another point to note is that SNHU has a very active military community, with over 15,000 current military service members, veterans, and their families enrolled. This makes a great network for support and connection during your time at SNHU.
In terms of academics, SNHU's College for America program is designed with working adults in mind and is a competency-based program. The flexibility of their programs allows many military members and veterans to juggle their courses amidst their other commitments.
So, indeed, Southern New Hampshire University does a great job at providing the resources and support that military members need!
