University of the Rockies Extends Military Grant to More Members of the Military Community

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- University of the Rockies has expanded its military grant, including tuition benefits, to cover additional members of the military community.

The University of the Rockies Military Grant includes a tuition grant, a technology fee waiver and book benefits. Previously, this grant was only available to active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reservists. Now, spouses of active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reservists are also eligible for the grant. The grant extends to Department of Defense employees, civilian employees of the U.S. Coast Guard and students using V.A. education benefits, as well.

"The expanded grant shows University of the Rockies not only recognizes the men and women who serve our country, but also the families who support them," said Dr. Charlita Shelton, president of University of the Rockies.

The expanded military grant joins other University of the Rockies programs, such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon Program, in helping military students pay for their education.
