Grantham University Named Top Military-Friendly University for Fifth Consecutive Year

Jan. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Kansas City, Mo. – Military Advanced Education magazine has named Grantham University in its 5th Annual Guide to Top Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities. This marks the fifth consecutive year Grantham University has achieved the distinction. Now entering its 61st year of delivering accredited online degrees to working adult students around the world, Grantham University continues to be a leader in providing advanced education to service-members, veterans, and their families.

“We are extremely honored to be named by Military Advanced Education as a military-friendly university for the fifth consecutive year.

Grantham remains committed to our Mission of supporting our nation’s service members, veterans and their families,” said Joseph McGrath, university president.

Student and National Guard service member David Soucy couldn’t agree more with Military Advanced Education honoring Grantham in this way. “My life was a roller coaster ride,” said Soucy. “My mother and sister both passed away, and I was fighting diabetes, COPD, asthma, kidney cancer and other medical issues. Grantham was so military –friendly in fact, they made it possible for me to make a better life for my family through a scholarship opportunity. Grantham has always been there to help guide me and keep me motivated toward completing my educational goals. I look forward to graduating in 2012 and making a great impact on my family and community.”
