National Recognition for Military and Veteran Support

Each year, the Military Friendly® Schools list honors institutions that provide outstanding opportunities and support for military students and their families. For 2025-2026, more than 1,800 colleges and universities participated in the survey process. Only 830 institutions, including San Juan College, received awards for going above and beyond the standard.

The full list of Military Friendly® Schools will be published in the May and October editions of G.I. Jobs® magazine and is also available online at www.militaryfriendly.com.

What Makes a School Military Friendly®?

The Military Friendly® designation is awarded by Viqtory with guidance from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, which includes leaders in higher education and military recruitment. Final scores are based on a combination of survey data and public information, measuring key outcomes such as:

  • Student veteran retention and graduation rates
  • Job placement and degree advancement
  • Loan repayment and default rates
  • Support services for military-connected students
