WINONA LAKE - The Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University has awarded $600 to Grace College's Student Veterans Organization, which will use the money to support its student service members and veterans on campus.
The grant was one of six awards made Jan. 22, which ranged from $600 to $2,000 and totaled $9,350.
In the past year, Grace has made aggressive effort in addressing veteran needs, adding an on-campus Veteran Student's Center and providing special benefits for military students and their families.Student veterans organizations offer opportunities for students to make valuable connections with other student service members and veterans, as well as supportive faculty and staff. This often eases the transition into academic work and the campus environment. SVO members frequently pursue community initiatives and collaborations with other organizations, allowing them to become more invested in campus life and the local community.
