Fort Hays State University has been recognized for its investment in programs that improve the lives of veterans and military personnel, earning the 2021-22 Military Friendly School designation from militaryfriendly.com.

Institutions that received the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,200 schools participated in the 2021-2022 survey, with 747 earning the designation.

The Military Friendly® program creates civilian opportunities for veterans and is the standard that measures an organization’s commitment, effort, and success in creating sustainable and meaningful opportunities for the military community.

The 2021- 2022 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.

Last year, FHSU opened a Transfer & Military Center as part of an initiative funded through the university’s Strategic Enrollment Planning process. The flexibility of FHSU’s programs allow military-connected students to start or finish a degree program no matter where they are stationed.

Benefits at FHSU for military students include tuition assistance, Veteran Affairs benefits, Yellow Ribbon, and in-state tuition and scholarships. More information on military benefits can be found at https://fhsu.edu/transfer-military-center/military-benefits/index.
