(Media-Newswire.com) - Casper College has been named to the 2013 Military Friendly Schools list compiled by Victory Media, Inc. The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.
“Inclusion on the 2013 list of military friendly schools shows Casper College’s commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students,” noted Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs and vice president at Victory Media.
“It is a great honor for Casper College to receive this designation,” said Lisa Goss, veteran and scholarship coordinator at Casper College. “Casper College is committed to helping our service members, veterans, and their spouses achieve their educational dreams, and this recognition says that we are meeting that goal.”
“In addition to the military friendly designation, Casper College is the first Wyoming public college to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program with the Department of Veterans Affairs,” said Goss.
According to the VA, The Yellow Ribbon Program was established by the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the tuition and fee amounts payable under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Now in its fourth year, the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 12,000 VA-approved schools nationwide.
