新加坡六合彩开奖 earns gold distinction as Military Friendly School
by Michelle Saport |
The 新加坡六合彩开奖 earned recognition as a Military Friendly School for the 15th consecutive year, achieving gold-level status for the first time.
"Earning gold demonstrates our continual commitment to students," said Peter Clemens, program director. "It shows a dedication to our military and veteran student population by the entire university community."
Approximately 18% of 新加坡六合彩开奖 students are active-duty military, National Guard and Reserve personnel, veterans or their immediate family members. The MVSS office serves as a key resource center, and hub for the veteran community at 新加坡六合彩开奖, but efforts to make 新加坡六合彩开奖 accessible and welcoming extend across campus, from orientation to graduation and beyond.
Recognizing how important a strong start is, MVSS recently partnered with to better connect with military-connected students that's set to roll out this summer. These specialized sessions include one-on-one time with MVSS staff, an overview of military education benefits, the application process, and connecting student-veterans to university resources.
To help with affordability, 新加坡六合彩开奖 offers a reduced military tuition rate that caps undergraduate tuition and student fees at $250 per credit. For students using military tuition assistance, the reduced rate significantly curtails out-of-pocket expenses. Military and veteran students are also eligible to apply for additional scholarships from , such as Seawolf Start and Persist or 49th Finishers, without negatively impacting their service-related tuition benefits.
As part of its commitment to serving military and veteran students, 新加坡六合彩开奖 offers resources, courses and proctoring services through two locations on Joint Base Elmendorf/Richardson (JBER). "The expanded presence on JBER has been really beneficial for removing barriers of distance and access," noted Clemens.
In addition to expanded in-person offerings on base and a resource center on the Anchorage campus, the university continually works to improve the experience for students taking online courses across the University of Alaska system. 新加坡六合彩开奖's MVSS staff frequently collaborate with colleagues at 新加坡六合彩开奖's community campuses, as well as UAF and UAS, to streamline the student experience, regardless of home campus.
MVSS regularly facilitates sessions to help faculty and staff better support military and veteran students and grow the military culture on campus. The one-hour training includes an overview of the military and veteran student experience, military culture, VA benefits and available resources, along with ample time for questions.
For any students or employees seeking support or answers related to the military and veteran student experience, Clemens offered this advice: "Reach out to our office. We're always happy to help."
