The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars have taken a harsh toll on our military’s population. Some service members come back from combat ready for a change of pace, others get caught up in the draw down currently occurring within the services. Many of these service members decide to pursue higher education. Veterans’ education benefits are a source of much discussion, but often hard to decipher. From the Marine Corps to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education aims to simplify this process. Designed to help Marines navigate the world of higher education and their available state and federal benefits, this accessible guide will better prepare veterans for tackling their new mission: college. From the Marine Corps to College can be read as a book from cover-to-cover, or as a reference manual section-by-section. The easy to follow format will assist Marines in furthering their educational goals.
Jillian Ventrone is a higher education counselor for service members aboard a federal installation, working with Service members and their families to help them transition to education or to other professions. She is the go-to expert for professional advice for Marines, sailors, and dependents who want to successfully transition into higher education. She writes for the base Education Newsletter monthly and has an article published in the Service members Opportunity Colleges Consortium publication.
