Veterans Information: Severely Injured Military Veterans: Fulfilling Their Dreams

Severely Injured Military Veterans: Fulfilling Their Dreams provides direct support to these veterans and their families by helping them align their career goals with educational opportunity

The program begins while the service member is recovering at one of four military hospitals: Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, MD; Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC; Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio, TX; and Naval Medical Center San Diego (nicknamed Balboa) in San Diego, CA.

At the hospitals, service members are introduced to academic advisors and develop customized educational plans. A veteran in the program may elect to pursue high school equivalency and certificate programs, two-year degrees, baccalaureate and graduate degrees, or post-graduate study. Participants include first-time students, first-generation students, and returning students.

Advisers work with veterans to identify educational resources and programs that will help them achieve their goals, suggest strategies to help them be successful students, and show them how to avoid possible pitfalls, such as diploma and accreditation mills.
