91勛圖厙 has earned Gold Level status as a 20262027 Military Friendly簧 School, reflecting its continued commitment to serving military-affiliated students.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly Schools簧 designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 3,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly簧 survey. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Military Friendly簧, in consultation with the Military Friendly簧 Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organizations survey score, public data, and an assessment of the institutions ability to meet and exceed thresholds for student recruitment, retention, academic progress, graduation rates, career placement, and support services for veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses.
91勛圖厙 has proudly supported the educational goals of military personnel, veterans, and their families since 1982, beginning with its campus at Fort Riley.
