CCC Selected a ‘Top School’ for 2015 Military Advanced Education Guide
Camden County College has been designated as a “Top School” in the 2015 Military Advanced Education Guide to Colleges & Universities, which measures best practices in the education of military service members and veterans.
The MAE Guide was assembled using results of a questionnaire on military-supportive policies that was administered to more than 600 private, public, for-profit, not-for-profit, four-year and two-year institutions. Schools were evaluated on military culture, financial aid, flexibility and on-campus and online support services. Those ultimately listed in the MAE Guide are lauded as “institutions that go out of their way to give back to our men and women in uniform.”

This is the latest honor for the Camden County College’s Veterans Services Office. Previously, the College was selected as a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media Inc. and had its array of special support programs for veterans of the United States Armed Forces featured in Victory Media’s 2015 Military Friendly® print and online publications.
The Center’s staff recognize that higher education is a major step in transitioning from military to civilian life and want to help students who are veterans use their benefits to build a successful future. The Center works with veterans on applications and certifications, including those for benefits available under Selected Reserves, the Montgomery G.I. Bill, the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation and Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance.
