MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (Jan. 31, 2019) — Milligan College has been recognized as a 2019-2020 Military Friendly® School by ViQtory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs®, Military Spouse and Military Friendly®.

Now in its 10th year, the Military Friendly® Schools list has come to set the standard for higher education institutions that provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. This prestigious list provides a comprehensive resource for veterans and their families to help identify the top colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.

“For several years, Milligan has been recognized for our commitment to military service members, veterans and their spouses,” said Milligan President Dr. Bill Greer. “We are honored to be recognized once again, and more importantly, we value the experiences and relationships these students bring to our campus. Their insights help shape and enrich the Milligan community as we prepare the next generation of servant-leaders.”

Milligan has several policies in place to create a military friendly campus during the admissions process and throughout the college experience. Milligan allows for military transfer credit, flexibility on registration and withdrawals due to deployments, and payment deferments while awaiting properly applied-for educational benefits. The college also waives college application fees for veterans and provides individual counseling during the application and admission process. Visit www.milligan.edu/veterans to learn more.
