Grand Valley named a 'Best for Vets' school

Grand Valley State University has been named a “Best for Vets” college by the national news outlet Military Times. 

Grand Valley joins 140 colleges and universities throughout the country that are included on the 2015 list. The ranking is based on an evaluation of the many factors that make an organization a good fit for service members, veterans and their families. It is also based on an assessment of success rates of veterans and military students.  

The ranking was compiled from a survey submitted by each institution of services, resources, and financial incentives offered to military members and student veterans, and information from the U.S. Department of Education, including academic success measures.  

The ranking is published in a variety of publications, including the Military Times EDGE magazine. Learn more at www.militarytimes.com/bestforvets-colleges2015. 

Grand Valley provides support and resources for service members and veterans, including in-state tuition for veterans and active military members who are stationed in Michigan. The university is a member of the Consortium of Michigan Veteran Educators, a statewide network of institutions that works to support military members and veterans and ensure access to resources that can lead to employment. Grand Valley is also part of the “8 Keys to Veterans’ Success” initiative through the U.S. Departments of Education and Veterans Affairs.
