G.I. Jobs Magazine Recognizes Colorado Technical University as a Top Military Friendly School

For the second consecutive year, Colorado Technical University is honored to be recognized by G.I. Jobs Magazine as a Top Military Friendly School. The magazine publishes an annual guide in September that recognizes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to support military students.

“CTU values the opportunity to provide military men and women with a quality education that will help them advance in the civilian workforce or in the military,” said Jim Hendrickson, vice president of military education for CTU. “I’m proud of this distinction which is a testament to the hard work of CTU and our department of military education which has more than 150 dedicated employees.”

The guide was determined by surveying schools on the services and support available to military students such as availability of veteran advisors, transfer credit policy for military training, school grants and scholarships.

About one-third of the CTU student population consists of active military, reservists, National Guard, veterans and their spouses. To best serve this population, the CTU Department of Military Education has a team of specially trained advisors who are well-versed in areas that affect military students such as voluntary education procedures, education benefits, military training transfer credit and CTU military friendly policies regarding military deployment while in school.

In addition to being a Post 9/11 G.I. Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program participant, CTU annually awards 25 Wounded Warrior Scholarships and 25 Wounded Warrior Spouse Scholarships to deserving recipients. The scholarship program was created in 2007 to offer educational assistance to wounded service men and women as they recover from their injuries and for their spouses as they prepare for new career opportunities. To date, the CTU Wounded Warrior Scholarship fund has awarded more than 100 scholarships worth nearly $2 million.

CTU gives military students the flexibility and accessibility necessary to be successful whether they are deployed or at home through its availability of online classes and support services. For more information please visit: www.coloradotech.edu/military.
