Resources

We’ve compiled a list of useful resources that may help as you pursue your post-high school education. We’re one of many organizations committed to educating the next generation of America’s leaders.

WHICH PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Foundation would like to ensure that you succeed in achieving your higher education goals.  We encourage you to research all types of academic institutions before choosing the school you will attend. College Board’s BigFuture is a free online planning guide that helps all students take the right first step after high school. There you can research various careers, colleges, and scholarship opportunities. You may find this website helpful when considering your post-secondary plans.

VETERAN EDUCATION BENEFITS BY STATE

Veterans pursuing higher education are usually eligible for ‘educational assistance for students’ in most states. Educational benefits for veterans and their dependents, particularly the children of deceased and disabled veterans, are also available in some states. For a list of benefits by state, visit Military.com’s list of State Veteran Education Benefits.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION’S COLLEGE SCORECARD

The College Scorecard is a free online tool to help students make data-informed decisions when choosing a college or university to attend, or even find alternative pathways to careers. Search and compare colleges: their fields of study, costs, admissions, results, and more.
