Grant Makes it Possible for Students to Attend SVA Conference

The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) has been granted $4915 from the Arizona Department of Veterans Services (AZDVS) to take four students and a staff member to the annual Student Veterans of America Conference in January 2019. This support includes conference registration fees, travel, hotel, and food. This is the third year in a row that AZDVS had sponsored students from MCCCD to attend. This conference provides seminars, workshops, and networking sessions on solutions to the challenges that student veterans face, and each year, the students who attend are always eager to return to their respective colleges to share their experiences and knowledge gained with their classmates.

Maricopa Community Colleges Logo

It's an honor that U.S. veterans, active reservists, and family members of veterans are among our student body. Both active-duty military personnel and veterans often seek educational support and job training to transition from military service to civilian life, and many will start with a community college.

At Maricopa Community Colleges, services for military personnel and veterans are designed to offer the highest quality assistance. We have a long history of providing education and training, allowing you to enhance existing skills, gain new skills, and translate military training and experience into a rewarding career.

We have an established tradition of providing access to higher education – in other words, we are dedicated to serving those who serve.
