Where Can I Go to Receive My Education?<br />

There are schools, colleges, and universities throughout the USA and North<br />

Carolina who have outstanding Veterans’ Programs. Many are listed at<br />

Corpoint.org. In our <strong>newsletter</strong> we will highlight some of the local facilities or<br />

areas of special interest. CORPOINT does not accept any compensation from<br />

any agency we highlight nor should you consider the facilities listed as an<br />

endorsement. They are included only as information. If you support Veteran’s<br />

education and would like to be included, contact services@corpoint.org.<br />

Montreat College has been named a 2017 Military<br />

Friendly® school by Victory Media. The ratings are<br />

designed to provide service members and their<br />

families with information they need to make decisions<br />

about civilian careers and education opportunities.<br />

Schools receive the Military Friendly® designation<br />

according to how well they engage prospective<br />

military students in a recruiting environment; educate<br />

the military student once they are part of the school;<br />

and if they meaningfully employ the student.<br />

“Montreat College is committed to serving our nations<br />

service members and veterans,” said Montreat<br />

College Vice President and Dean for Adult and<br />

Graduate Studies Susan DeWoody. “As part of this<br />

commitment. Montreat College offers a number of<br />

benefits and special options for our military students.<br />

We are a Yellow Ribbon Program participating<br />

school, we offer a military tuition discount, and we<br />

provide VA Benefits. We are proud to be designated a<br />

2017 Military Friendly® school.”<br />

authorized. All other required admissions<br />

procedures (above) must be followed as well.
