Navient Foundation funds development of Veterans Resource Center at Delaware Technical Community College

Using a $22,000 grant from the Navient Foundation, Delaware Technical Community College will make its Charles L. Terry Campus in Dover, Delaware, even more welcoming to veteran students with the Veterans Resource Center.
 
“Supporting veterans and active-duty military is a top priority at Delaware Tech, and we are grateful for this support from the Navient Foundation,” Delaware Tech President Dr. Mark Brainard said. “This grant will provide our student veterans a much-needed space to study and interact with other veteran students.”
 
The center will provide veteran students with a space to study and meet other veterans; also, it will house the Veterans Inspiring Progress student organization. It will be a space for students to learn from guest speakers and take part in programs on financial education, career workshops and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder seminars.
 
“A college education is more important than ever, including for service members and veterans transitioning from the military to the civilian workforce,” Navient Senior Vice President Mike Maier, a U.S. Navy veteran, said. “However, most of the benefits of a college education only come with the degree. The Navient Foundation is proud to provide a dedicated space where Delaware Tech student veterans can get academic assistance and support from fellow veterans -- a key to successful degree completion.”
