Camden County College in Gloucester Township Officially Named 'Military Friendly' School

Camden County College has been named a Military Friendly School by Victory Media Inc., and its array of special support programs for veterans of the United States Armed Forces is being featured in Victory Media’s 2015 Military Friendly® print publication and online at www.gijobs.com/school/camden-county-college/.

The Camden County College Veterans Service Center is located in Room 202A of the Otto R. Mauke Community Center on CCC’s Blackwood Campus. The Center’s staff recognize that pursuing higher education is a major step in transitioning from military to civilian life and want to help all students who are veterans use their service benefits to build a successful future.

The Center works with veterans on their applications and certifications for military educational benefits, including those available under the Montgomery G.I. Bill, the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, Selected Reserves, Vocational Rehabilitation and Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance. It also provides them with Veterans Administration work-study information and opportunities and access to a special on-campus lounge where they can meet with fellow veterans.

Furthermore, the Center provides access to a licensed clinical social worker on campus and helps veterans take advantage of available state and county services. This includes referrals to the Camden County Department of Veterans Affairs and Camden County Mental Health Services.
