Veterans & Active Military Affinity Group

To serve one’s country in the Armed Forces is truly one of the most noble acts a person can do. To show the nation’s appreciation, the federal government offers special benefits to current and former soldiers to say: “You’ve served your country well. Now enjoy the smooth path towards your life goals, beginning with your education”. But it doesn’t always play out that easily.

At NCTC we understand this and want to show our special appreciation for your service, which is why we formed the Military and Veteran Affinity Group.
