I was nervous about

going back to college—

but I found the support

I needed through

Veteran’s Services at the

Maricopa Community

Colleges. They welcomed

me and made me feel

like I belong.

The Maricopa Colleges: Here to Serve YouThe Maricopa Community Colleges have a long history of providing education and training to veterans and those on active duty who are seeking to gain new skills, enhance existing skills, and translate skills learned in the military for use in the civilian world. We believe that it is a privilege to have United States veterans, active reservists, and family members of veterans among our student body. Services for veterans at the Maricopa Community Colleges are designed to offer the highest quality assistance.

The staff at the East Valley

Veterans Center were able to

provide the help I needed to

start on a new career path. A

lot of the staff have served in

the military, so I felt they

understood my needs.
