Ancilla College announced today that it has been designated a 2015 Military Friendly® School by Victory Media, a leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian world s.
“We are very, very happy to have been named as a military-friendly school for the third year in a row,” said Ancilla’s Executive Director of Admissions Eric Wignall. “We have worked hard to provide access to educational programs to Hoosier veterans and their families. We offer financial aid options, admissions counseling, and student support to all of our students but make a point to reach out to current and former members of the military.”
The Military Friendly® Schools designation is awarded to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation. The methodology used for making the Military Friendly® Schools list has changed the student veteran landscape to one much more transparent, and has played a significant role over the past six years in capturing and advancing best practices to support military students across the country.
“Ancilla is a small school with a very personal student-centered approach to teaching and learning. We can offer veterans and their families a level of learning support that other schools can’t. We are proud of being able to offer high quality educational programs but being recognized as one of the best schools in country for veterans is a real honor,” Wignall said.
Now in its sixth year, the Military Friendly® Schools designation and list by Victory Media is the premier, trusted resource for post-military success. Military Friendly® provides service members transparent, data-driven ratings about post-military education and career opportunities.
The survey captures over 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to the more than 8,000 schools approved for Post-9/11 GI Bill funding.
