VETERANS' EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Veterans' Education and Training

The Maryland Higher Education Commission serves as the official State Approving Agency (or SAA), an approving authority for the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs.  The SAA approves and supervises postsecondary institutions that are legally operating in Maryland, including public and private high schools, colleges and universities, community colleges, academies, and training and private career schools.  Students who attend a postsecondary institution that has been SAA approved and meets the requirements under the G. I. Bill, may be eligible for education benefits.

MISSION

  • Promote and safeguard quality post-secondary education and training programs for veterans.
      
  • To increase the awareness of every veteran, service member and/or eligible dependent concerning the full range of both educational and training opportunities available in the State of Maryland.
     
  • Ensure greater educational and training opportunities to meet the challenging needs of veterans.
