VETERANS BOUND

Veterans Upward Bound is a free U.S. Department of Education pre-college education program designed to help Veterans refresh their academic skills and give our students the confidence needed to successfully complete their choice of college degree, professional licensure, or certificate program. This could be of great value to the Veterans in your community and a positive step toward education and professional development.  More info: https://www.suffolk.edu/about/mission-history/federal-trio-programs/vete...
