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 over 160 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.
