Support our Heroes: Final Push for Veteran And Military Support Services

Schoolcraft College’s Veteran & Military Service Center is on the verge of a significant transformation, with just $131,000 needed to complete its renovation campaign, a substantial reduction from the $160,000 required last week. This rapid progress reflects the community’s unwavering dedication to assisting veterans and military-affiliated students in their pursuit of higher education.

Once fully renovated, the center will function as a comprehensive resource hub, simplifying educational and degree requirements for veterans. It will also offer a serene and focused study atmosphere while fostering connections among veterans and military-affiliated students in communal meeting spaces. Additionally, it will be a hub for hosting programs and resources tailored to veterans’ unique challenges, thereby supporting them throughout their academic journey and beyond.

The ongoing funding progress for Schoolcraft College’s Veteran & Military Service Center highlights the community’s resolute commitment to aiding those who have served our nation. The renovated center will play a crucial role in streamlining educational access, building a sense of community, and addressing the specific needs of veterans, ensuring their academic success and overall well-being.
