Hello, I'm a high school junior with a plan to serve in the armed forces before entering college. Do you know any colleges that might offer extra support (tutors, advisors, etc.) for students with a military background? Any info will be appreciated.
Sure, there are several colleges and universities that provide substantial support to students with military backgrounds.
1. Arizona State University: Ranked as one of the top military-friendly schools in the country, ASU offers a Pat Tillman Veteran's Center that provides personalized academic advice, tutoring, and career readiness assistance to student veterans.
2. University of South Florida: USF has the Office of Veteran Success which offers several services for veterans including tutoring, advising, and even special events specifically for veteran students.
3. Syracuse University: Their Office of Veteran & Military Affairs provides various veterans’ services, such as the Veterans Career Transition program, which offers support in transitioning from a military career to the civilian workforce.
4. University of Maryland Global Campus: This university offers a wealth of resources specifically for student veterans, including academic advising, career services, and even a Veterans Resource Center.
It's important to note that nearly all colleges and universities offer some level of support to veterans and current military members. The specifics of these services will vary from school to school, so it would be beneficial to reach out to the Offices of Military or Veteran Services at the schools you’re considering for more detailed information.
