For the 15th consecutive year, Lakeshore Technical College was named a Military Friendly School by Viqtory, a national organization that connects the military community to educational and entrepreneurial opportunities and civilian employment.
Lakeshore has been recognized for this award and the Military Spouse Friendly School since Viqtory launched the efforts. The college was designated gold level several times.
Institutions earning the designations were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 2,500 schools from across the country participated in the survey.
“Getting recognized every year since these awards launched demonstrates our ongoing commitment to working with our military students and their families. We are here to help them successfully navigate their way through college and back into the civilian work environment,” said Lakeshore President Dr. Paul Carlsen.
Lakeshore works with County Veterans Services, Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Federal Veterans Administration to ensure veterans, as well as their spouses and dependents, have access to resources that can support success.
Tuition and material fee waivers, housing allowances, and additional stipends are available through the Wisconsin GI Bill. Lakeshore processes state level Retraining Grant Applications for veterans who are dislocated workers, National Guard Tuition Grant Applications, and VetEd Reimbursement Grants. The college also participates in the My Career Advancement Account scholarship program that provides financial assistance to eligible military spouses pursuing careers considered portable.
