ACCESSING HIGHER EDUCATION TRACK
The Accessing Higher Education (HE) Briefing is designed for Service members who are considering post-secondary education. Focusing on understanding and completing the college admissions process, participants explore career and personal goals, institutional selection factors, funding factors and financial aid, and the admissions process.

Briefing participants analyze different types of colleges/universities, methods of instructional delivery, transferability of credit, the school’s culture, and veteran support systems. The ultimate goal is to select an institution of higher learning that will support each student’s educational goals, and be a great fit academically, socially, and culturally. Monthly briefings are scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the following dates: 08 SEP, 13 OCT, 10 NOV & 08 DEC 2021. All active duty AF are encouraged to participate. RSVP required.
