G'day! With a military career in mind after high school, I wonder if any colleges in Ohio are particularly geared towards or supportive of military students? Any info would be amazing!
Hello! I applaud your plans to serve in the military, and it's fantastic that you're researching schools that can support that path. In Ohio, there are several options for you to consider.
Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, has a University Military Fellowship program that's designed to support veterans and service members during their time at the university. They also offer Army and Air Force ROTC programs, which will allow you to work towards a military career while you're still in school.
Ohio State University is another option to look at. They offer a designated Military and Veterans Services department providing resources and support for military students, along with Army and Air Force ROTC programs as well.
Kent State University features the Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success, a resource center especially from veterans and service members. They also offer Army and Air Force ROTC programs.
Lastly, the University of Cincinnati also has a Veterans Programs & Services center which offers support to military-affiliated students.
Each of these schools also demonstrate their military-friendly nature by participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which is a provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill that allows veterans to attend expensive private schools and graduate programs exceeding the national maximum cap for GI Bill funds.
Whichever one you choose, just be sure to reach out to their veteran or military student center and ask for any specifics on what they offer – they are there to help you! Best of luck!
