8 straight: Moraine Park earns “Military Friendly” ranking once again

For the eighth-consecutive year, Moraine Park Technical College is pleased to have made Victory Media’s list of Military Friendly Schools for its commitment in serving veterans as students.

Institutions earning the 2018 Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey.

More than 1,700 schools participated.

“I continue to be immensely proud of our staff and students for their collective commitment in making our College a special place for military students and student veterans. Our consistent designation as a Military Friendly School affirms this commitment, and we look forward to further serving our student veterans and military members in the future,” said Scott Lieburn, Moraine Park’s dean of students.

This prestigious award recognizes the top colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide who embrace America’s veterans as students.

Moraine Park has numerous resources available to military and veteran students, including the Student Veterans Association (SVA) club. The SVA meets regularly to provide information about educational opportunities offered at Moraine Park and to make updates to veterans benefits. The club allows students to meet with other military students and veterans as well as their supporters. This provides a support system to help veteran and military members ask questions and smoothly transition from military life to college and careers.

Schools on the list range from state universities and private colleges, to community and technical colleges and trade schools. The common bond is their shared priority of recruiting and retaining students with military experience.

Schools on the Military Friendly Schools list also offer additional benefits to student veterans such as on-campus veterans programs, credit for service and military spouse programs.
