University Of Memphis: UofM Honored Among Top Military Friendly Schools For Eighth Consecutive Year 

Press release from the University of Memphis:

March 7, 2022

The list honors the top colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the
most to embrace military service members and veterans as students and ensure their
success on campus. 

The UofM's military-friendly features include a Veterans and Military Student Services
Center which assist veterans and military service members with the transition from
a military environment to a positive academic community that supports their success
on campus; a wide range of online courses and degree programs through UofM Global;
participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program; seamless transfer of credits from community
colleges; and three ROTC programs – Army, Navy and Air Force. Additionally, the Memphis
area is home to Naval Support Activity Mid-South and its strong military community. 

In 2019, the University announced that it would accept the Folds of Honor scholarship,
a $5,000 annual award, as payment in full for tuition. The Folds of Honor scholarship
supports higher education for spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled
service members. The UofM is the first institution of higher learning nationally to
partner with Folds of Honor. 

The UofM was ranked No. 9 nationally on the Military Friendly Schools List two years
ago. The list of Military Friendly Schools is compiled through extensive research
and a data-driven survey of employers, schools, franchise systems and cities nationwide. 

More information, including the complete list of 2022-23 Military Friendly Schools,
