Miami Dade College starts vets program

Miami Dade College is now offering a program for veterans.
The college has initiated the Veterans Upward Bound program, a no-cost initiative for veterans who are seeking to engage in post-secondary education.
Through the program eligible veterans can obtain a basic skills assessment, preparation for standardized post-secondary tests, assistance with GI benefits and forms, and linkage to various support groups and services around the community.
Also eligible veterans will receive academic tutoring, aid in course selection, information on federal student financial aid programs, a stipend and other additional services ranging from financial literacy to career-related and cultural enrichment activities.
