CLEVELAND, WI —
Lakeshore Technical College was named a 2023-2024 Military Spouse Friendly Top 10 School by Viqtory, a national organization that connects the military community to educational and entrepreneurial opportunities and civilian employment. Earlier this year, Lakeshore was awarded a Military Friendly School Gold designation.
Institutions earning the designations were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the survey.
“We understand the importance of taking great care of not only our students who are veterans or currently active in the military but also their spouses. The educational challenges military spouses face are unique, and we are proud to be recognized for our efforts,” said Lakeshore President Dr. Paul Carlsen.
Lakeshore works with County Veterans Services, Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Federal Veterans Administration to ensure veterans and their families have access to resources that can support success. Through the Wisconsin GI Bill, eligible spouses can apply for 128 credits in tuition waivers. Lakeshore also participates in the My Career Advancement Account scholarship program that provides financial assistance to eligible military spouses pursuing careers considered portable.
