Wor-Wic Community College was named as a gold-level Military Friendly School in the community college category for 2017 by Victory Media, a veteran-owned company whose mission is to assist military personnel transitioning into civilian life.
The Military Friendly Schools list honors the colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.
Wor-Wic recognizes and adheres to Veterans Affairs (VA) standards and strives to assist veterans as much as possible. Fred Howard, financial aid state scholarship and veterans coordinator, is available at Wor-Wic to help current and prospective students who are veterans or active military personnel.
“Wor-Wic’s veteran and military student enrollment averages 300 students per year taking both credit and non-credit courses,” said Howard. “Veterans can use one of several VA GI Bill educational benefits while attending college. In addition to VA educational benefits, students can use their military tuition assistance while attending Wor-Wic. Wor-Wic has been selected as a Military Friendly School by Victory Media for seven consecutive years.”
A U.S. Navy veteran, Howard serves as the advisor for the veterans and military association at Wor-Wic, a student club that is open to all students who have served any length of time in the U.S. armed forces. The club raises awareness of veteran issues and organizes events pertaining to veterans.
