Our Challenge
San Jacinto College has taken a progressive stand by providing our returning veterans with a place for counseling, camaraderie, and quiet study on each of our three campuses.
Our Solution
These Centers of Excellence for Veteran Student Success, will provide trained and certified personnel to assist our veterans in succeeding in their educational goals.
Our Goal
To raise $300,000.Your donation will be the key to success and help provide for operational and material needs.
Helping Our Veterans Succeed
Our region and surrounding areas have more veterans than any other area in the country. For this reason, San Jacinto College has taken a progressive stand to assist our veterans upon their return. San Jacinto College will open a place of counseling, camaraderie, and quiet study for our community veterans.
The average age of our veterans is 23 to 29, since most entered service right out of high school or shortly after their graduations, they have some challenges adjusting. Certainly our disabled vets face more challenges, but those who do not show visible scars still face very real challenges.
Through The Centers of Excellence for Veteran Student Success, San Jacinto College will staff each facility with trained personnel which will help assist our veterans in their transition back into civilian life.
