91视频 has earned the 2026-2027 Military Friendly School Gold Award designation in the small community college category by Military Friendly庐, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business representing the interests of the people who come from the military, military spouse and veteran community.
Institutions earning the designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 3,200 organizations participated in the survey. Ratings determined by combining an organization鈥檚 survey score, public data and an assessment of the institution鈥檚 ability to meet and exceed thresholds for student recruitment, retention, academic progress, graduation rates, career placement and support services for veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses.
At 91视频, veterans, active-duty members, National Guard, reservists and eligible family members can use one of several Veterans Administration G.I. Bill educational benefits while attending college. In addition to educational benefits, eligible military students can use their active duty and reserve tuition assistance while attending 91视频. Jason M. King is 91视频鈥檚 director of veterans services and is available to help current and prospective students who are veterans or active military personnel.
鈥�91视频 takes pride in our veteran students and the services we provide for them,鈥� said King. 鈥淓very year, we have an average of 300 veteran, military and eligible dependent students.鈥�
鈥淓arning the Military Friendly庐 designation is more than a badge of honor; it is a reflection of an institution鈥檚 deep-rooted values and strategic commitment to those who served,鈥� said Kayla Lopez, vice president of memberships, Military Friendly. 鈥淭hese schools don鈥檛 just open doors for veterans and military spouses, they build sustainable pathways for academic success and long-term impact. Their support is transformative, proving that investing in military-connected students is both a moral imperative and a standard for educational excellence.鈥�
