Mission Ready Education

Build a Reliable Military & Spouse Enrollment Pipeline

What Is Mission-Ready Education?

Mission-Ready Education is a comprehensive enrollment and outreach solution that helps universities, colleges, and technical training programs attract, enroll, and graduate more military members, veterans, and military spouses—building a sustainable, military-ready enrollment strategy supported by guaranteed federal education funding.

We help institutions build a reliable pipeline of military members, veterans, and military spouse students—driving increased military enrollment and maximizing the use of federally funded education benefits.

We work alongside enrollment, admissions, and workforce teams to build a coordinated approach that:

Attracts veteran and military-connected students
Simplifies enrollment pathways
Improves retention and completion
Strengthens partnerships with military and employer communities

This is not a one-time campaign—it’s a long-term enrollment strategy.

The Opportunity

Military members, veterans, and military spouses bring:

Guaranteed federal funding (GI Bill®, Tuition Assistance, MyCAA, VR&E, COOL)
Year-round enrollment potential
Higher-than-average persistence and completion rates
Strong alignment with technical, workforce, and career-driven programs
Long-term employer and community impact

Institutions that develop a focused military enrollment strategy gain a predictable, high-quality student pipeline.

The Challenge

Military-connected students represent one of the most valuable and stable student populations available to higher education. Yet many institutions struggle to consistently reach, engage, and enroll them.

Common challenges include:

Limited access to Guard, Reserve, and active-duty populations
Lack of experience marketing to military audiences
Unclear pathways to VA, MyCAA, and COOL alignment
Inconsistent enrollment and retention results
Missed opportunities tied to guaranteed federal education funding

The Solution: FMI Enrollment Pipeline

Mission-Ready Education helps colleges, universities, and technical training programs attract, enroll, and graduate more military members, veterans, and military spouses—students who bring guaranteed federal funding, strong completion rates, and long-term workforce value.

Forward March Inc. partners with institutions to create a sustainable, repeatable military enrollment strategy that delivers results year after year.
