In Post-9/11 GI Bill era, new Web Site offers military and veteran students the tools they need to find Military Friendly Schools.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ – G.I. Jobs announces the launch of its new Web site at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com. The site, loaded with interactive tools and search functionality, helps military veterans find the schools that best meet their educational needs.
The 1,000 schools on the new Web site are those selected to G.I. Jobs “Military Friendly Schools” list in August. They represent the top 15 percent most “military friendly” of the nation’s 7,000 schools. The new Web site augments the recently published Guide to Military Friendly Schools, with a circulation of over 150,000 to prospective military students.
Military students can search for schools based on degree type, geographic location, military tuition discounts, credit for military service, Yellow Ribbon program, academic accreditations and more. They can even request information directly from the school, via an innovative Electronic Reader Response form.
The militaryfriendlyschools.com search engine creates a filtered list of the Military Friendly Schools and provides prospective military students with critical information they need to select a school. The schools listed include undergrad colleges, graduate schools and trade / vo-tech schools.
“This website is especially important now because the recently enacted Post-9/11 GI Bill has given veterans virtually unlimited financial means to go to school,” said Rich McCormack, G.I. Jobs publisher. “Veterans can now enroll in any school, provided they’re academically qualified. So schools are clamoring for them like never before. Veterans need a trusted friend to help them decide where to get educated. The www.militaryfriendlyschools.com Web site is that trusted friend.”
It’s never been easier for students to find everything they need to enroll in the Military Friendly School that’s right for them. In addition to finding the right school, www.militaryfriendlyschools.com is packed with information students need about how to make the right decision and maximize their GI Bill benefits.
Methodology used to determine the list of Military Friendly Schools were developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Committee (AAC) consisting of educators and administrators from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Toledo, Duquesne University, Coastline Community College and Lincoln Technical Institute.
