"The biggest surprise for me when I came here, my first class the instructor gave me his home phone number, and said any questions, any time, give me a call. Just as long as it's not during my favorite show, and that blew my mind."

Edgewood College welcomes all veterans to explore the options that an Edgewood education can provide. You will find that the students, faculty, and staff are all proud to have veterans attending classes and some of our faculty and staff are veterans as well.
Heroes' Welcome Program
The Heroes' Welcome program at Edgewood College creates a tailored support structure that will foster academic and vocational success among student veterans. The mission of the program is to assist veterans in making successful transitions from their military service, to the role of student, to meeting their career and professional goals. The program will provide integrated academic and career advising services, learning support, peer network resources, and individual and family counseling services through the College's Marriage and Family Therapy Center facility. Our goal is not only to provide care, but to encourage, inspire, and motivate student veterans to succeed.
