“We have a number of students who are in the service now, as well as many veterans who are enrolled at SMSU,” said SMSU President Dr. Connie J. Gores. “Being named a Military Friendly School is recognition of the efforts being made to support our military members and their families. We are honored to again be named a university of choice for veterans.”
Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data-driven survey of more than 10,000 schools nationwide approved for VA tuition funding.
Justin Guggisberg, Veterans Center coordinator at SMSU, said, “The Military Friendly award speaks volumes to the continued resolve of SMSU to honor those who choose to serve our country and pursue goals for higher education. Southwest Minnesota State University will once again be listed with the top universities in the nation for military members to obtain college degrees."
