UC Clermont College Awarded Military Friendly School from G.I. Jobs

G.I. Jobs, the premier magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has awarded UC Clermont College the designation of ‘Military Friendly School.’ The 2012 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.

The 1,518 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list prioritize the recruitment of students with military experience. These schools are making the grade by offering scholarships, student veterans’ clubs, dedicated staff, military credit and other services to those who served. The 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools ® was compiled through extensive research and a data driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide.
 
UC Clermont College’s Veteran Affairs advisor Jeff Bosworth is devoted to assisting military students. As a two tour Vietnam Veteran and a retired Navy Senior Chief (E8), Bosworth knows how to navigate the paperwork to ensure students get the VA education benefits that veterans earned.

“Trying anything new is always a little challenging at first. Leaving the military and going to college is no different. The best way to make new experiences easier is to talk to someone who knows the complexities of military education benefits and is also a military Veteran,” said Bosworth.
 
“Military students have unique needs. Students need a unique school and picking one is a big decision. Making sure you find a program that’s right for your career goals is crucial since landing a rewarding job with a good salary is the ultimate goal of any educational endeavor. Schools that earn a place on the list of 2011 Military Friendly Schools welcome military students and provide the best programs and policies to help you succeed,” adds Bosworth.
