Whether you started postsecondary education, waited a few years or jumped right into a career right after high school, the transition can sometimes be a difficult and long process, especially for those in the military. Some of these students opted to join our country’s military right after high school and are now wishing to continue their education once their service is over.
To assist these individuals, on Aug. 4, I will be hosting a Veterans’ Education Fair which will include information and resources to get the process started. Representatives from various universities such as the University of Evansville, University of Southern Indiana, Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University, will be attending the event. The universities will be prepared to enroll students that night and answer any questions the veterans might have in regards to obtaining a degree. To enroll that evening, please bring a copy of JST Transcript – DD214 #4 copy.
The fair begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Southern Indiana Career Technical Center at 1901 Lynch Road in Evansville. From 5:15 p.m. until around 6:00 p.m., there will be an overview of the educational opportunities, like the application and the admission process, financial aid assistance and presentations by the local universities. After the overview is finished, there will be booths and representatives standing by to meet and discuss various opportunities with veterans. There will also be a buffet provided.
