Military and veteran students are in good hands at Delaware Technical Community College, according to Pennsylvania veteran workforce development org Victory Media. The school was selected by Victory Media as a “military friendly” school for the third year in a row on Monday.

Delaware Tech earned its award through several military and veteran-focused programs including:

• A student veteran organization, Veterans Inspiring Progress, which offers peer support for veteran students.
• Academic counselors who specifically assist military students.
• Events like the Run, White & Blue 5K, which benefits the Delaware Tech veterans’ scholarship

Delaware Tech also received the state’s 2016 Warrior Friendly Business Award last month. The award is given to a business that supports service members, veterans and their families through workplace initiatives, like hiring and promoting military members.
