San Juan College was recently designated as a Gold 2023-2024 Military Friendly School.<\/p>\n

Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the survey with 665 earning special awards for going above the standard.<\/p>\n

The list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and is available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution\u2019s survey scores with the assessment of the institution\u2019s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Juan College is committed to ensuring veterans find their successes,\u201d says Larry Finch, coordinator of the college\u2019s Veteran Center. \u201cAt the Center, we can help veterans, their spouses and dependents with everything from applying and registering for classes to assisting with the financial aid and GI Bill processes. I invite veterans and their families to stop by and see what we can do for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kayla Lopez, national director of Military Partnerships for Military Friendly, said in a media release, \u201cMilitary Friendly is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process. Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the military community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages colleges to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, going over and above that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
