From Camouflage to Commencement: Helping Colleges Recruit, Retain, and Graduate America’s Finest.
Turning Military Benefits into Academic and Economic Impact

Every year, thousands of veterans and military spouses transition into higher education with powerful benefits like the Post-9/11 GI Bill, Montgomery GI Bill, and VA education programs. These benefits not only cover tuition but also bring significant housing stipends and community economic impact. Yet, many colleges, universities, and technical schools struggle to effectively recruit, enroll, and support these students.

Mission Ready Education bridges that gap. Our program equips colleges with the knowledge, strategies, and tools needed to recruit, retain, and graduate military-connected students while maximizing the academic, cultural, and economic benefits they bring.
