Military
Turn your military skills into a rewarding career
Many members of the military have found their ideal fit at SM调教社区College, both for their post-secondary education and their own career goals. At SM调教社区College, we enroll many veterans and active service members, as well as their dependents. A number of veterans have also chosen to build their post-military careers at SM调教社区College as instructors.
There are several reasons why SM调教社区College is such a good match for military personnel and their dependents, including our program flexibility, a professional and structured learning environment, and highly relevant education programs. Whether you are looking to expand on the skills you developed in the military, or begin a new career, SM调教社区College has the career-focused programs to get you where you want to be tomorrow.
Cost of Attendance is the estimated cost to attend SM调教社区College for the academic year. Financial Aid provides estimates for cost of attendance that include the direct costs of tuition as well as the indirect costs such as living expenses (housing and food), transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.
Veterans and Military Tuition Assistance Benefits
SM调教社区College offers many programs eligible for education benefits through the GI Bill庐 and Military Tuition Assistance programs. The college provides education benefits to both veterans, active duty, dependents, National Guard, and Reservists. Education benefits may vary based on the type of service and length of time in the military.
In order to determine eligibility, all students seeking to using veteran鈥檚 or Tuition Assistant benefits will be scheduled to meet with a representative from the Financial Aid Office. The representative will assist students in completing all required forms needed to secure the education benefit. A review of transcript will also take place during this meeting. Students with previous post-secondary education must request transcripts and have them evaluated for possible transfer credit.
