OPERATION EDUCATION

YOU SERVED US, NOW LET US SERVE YOU Operation Education is our way of saying thank you for your selfless service. It’s much more than just a scholarship — it’s a comprehensive program that provides assistance for all four years of school.

Here’s what it entails: n A scholarship managed by U of I to assist you in addition to your other military benefits n Personalized resources and support for all four years, including customized counseling and support from the Counseling and Testing Center (CTC), Better Education About Money (BEAMS), Center for Disability Access and Resources (CDAR) and your Operation Education Advisor

Your overwhelmingly generous support is helping me fulfill my dream of becoming a forester. After serving in the United States Army, going back to school wasn’t necessarily the easiest choice for me to make, but I feel especially privileged to do so. Your generous contribution allows me to further invest in myself and in my education. It is incredibly comforting knowing that although I am no longer serving our country, I am still supported within the University of Idaho community.
