Military Service Grant

Harrison College recognizes the vast contributions military personnel and veterans have made to our country, and we are committed to making your time here productive and rewarding.

That's why we have established a Military Service Grant for active, reserve, guardsmen, retirees, veterans, and dependants of military personnel attending Harrison College.  The grant amounts vary based on program and eligibility, but are designed to allow students to maximize their military education benefits.

What to expect at Harrison

We will work with military students to meet their needs by providing the convenience and support necessary to balance life’s responsibilities with obtaining an education. At Harrison, you can expect a student-centered environment for service members, their spouses and veterans. In addition, you can expect flexible schedules, a belief in and daily practice of personal attention, a career-focused approach to education, and excellence in education.

For questions about the grant, admission or any of our degree programs, please contact a Harrison College Admissions Representative or call 888-544-4422.
