Show Notes
Santiago Canyon College stands out as a top-tier institution for military veterans, earning gold-level Military Friendly School status for its comprehensive support services. The colleges Veterans Resource Center recently hosted a discussion with U.S. Representative Lou Correas staff about the Expanding Access for Online Veteran Students Act, H.R. three seven five three. This bill aims to equalize monthly housing stipends for veterans in fully online programs, currently half of those taking at least one in-person class. Veterans at the college, such as a Navy veteran and mother studying business and a Marine Corps English major, face challenges due to the stipend gap, which limits their options and forces them to attend physically even when it conflicts with family needs or work. The college offers a full-spectrum approach, including mental health counseling, scholarships, and emergency aid, to support veterans in their transition to civilian life and higher education.
