California State University (CSU), Stanislaus was recently recognized by two national publications for its policies that favor American service members and facilitate their educational pursuits. The online publication G.I. Jobs (http://www.gijobs.com) included the university in its 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools®. The list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s service members and veterans as students. The Military Friendly Schools list is a resource for prospective student veterans searching for schools that provide the greatest opportunity and overall experience. The colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list prioritize the recruitment of students with military experience. These schools are making the grade by offering scholarships and discounts, veterans’ clubs, full-time staff, military credit and other services to those who served.

A second publication, Military Advance Education, commended CSU Stanislaus for “enacting academic, support and financial aid policies that benefit the men and women who serve our nation” in naming the university to its 2012 Guide to Top Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities.
