St. Cloud State University has again been honored with the Military Advanced Education and Transition (MAE&T) Top School distinction, which measures best practices in military and veteran education.
MAE&T’s 2016 Guide to Colleges and Universities arms students with information about institutions that go out of their way to give back to the men and woman in uniform as they make the transition from military to the civilian sector.
Institutions were evaluated on their military culture, financial aid, flexibility, general support, on-campus support and online support services.
St. Cloud State’s military support reputation is demonstrated by offering in-state tuition and waiving application fees for all veterans, and participating in Beyond the Yellow Ribbon and Warrior to Citizen programs that help military families in financial need.
“We take pride in knowing St. Cloud State’s services to our military-connected students are on track with other universities around the country,” said Zac Mangas, interim director of the Veterans Resource Center at St. Cloud State. “In fact, we are finding out through these distinctions that we place among the top 25 colleges and universities across the nation when it comes to serving our veterans.”
St. Cloud State serves about 700 student veterans each school year.
