Whitworth Named Military Friendly School for Fifth Consecutive Year

Whitworth University has earned the 2021-2022 Military Friendly® School designation, with bronze distinction, by Viqtory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs®, STEM Jobs SM and Military Spouse. This is the fifth consecutive year Whitworth has received this honor.

First published in 2009, Military Friendly® Schools is the most comprehensive educational resource for veterans and their dependents. The bronze distinction signifies a school that scored within 30 percent of the 10th best school in its category. These institutions have exceptional military/veteran programs, and this award showcases their dedication.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 schools participated in the 2021-2022 survey with 747 earning the designation.

Whitworth is an approved university to serve veterans and their family members who are eligible for educational benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, including under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, Yellow Ribbon, Montgomery GI Bill, Veterans Educational Assistance, Survivors & Dependents Assistance and Military Tuition Assistance.

“Whitworth is honored to once again be designated as a military friendly school,” said Phil Labrie, assistant director, Veterans Outreach. “We deeply value our Veteran's and their families and the sacrifices they have made for our country.”
