Midlands Technical College has been selected as a Military Times Best College for Veterans for 2019.

The publication cited MTC’s services, accommodations and financial options offered to students with military ties, as well as the veteran culture on campus. It also factored in data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Education.

“We honor our student veterans and are proud to be named a Military Times Best College for Veterans,” MTC president Ron Rhames said in a news release. “MTC has long recognized the importance of providing higher education and support services to military families and veterans.”

MTC enrolls more than 1,000 veterans, their dependents and other military personnel each year, according to a news release. The college also has a Veterans Success Center where service members and veterans can connect and network, and it has established a Veterans Advisory Council of veteran students and community military leaders.

“The Military Times Best College for Veterans designation is trusted throughout the veteran community as the mark of excellence for schools and other organizations that work with veterans, service members, and military families,” Military Times editor George Altman said. “It is only earned through a record of steadfast service and dedication to those who have served.”
