Guidance for Student Veterans and Military-Connected Students at UAGC
Veterans Education Success has been contacted by student veterans and other military-connected students attending the University of Arizona Global Campus seeking guidance about their options. We, along with two other veterans’ service organizations – Service to School and the Warrior-Scholar Project – are providing individual guidance to interested students.
In addition, we have identified several highly reputable public institutions with excellent online programs and traditions of serving veterans and military-connected students as potential venues where interested students may wish to complete their programs using VA or DoD benefits.
