Veterans Success Center
Helping Our Veteran Community Integrate into Educational Life
The Veterans’ Success Center is a centralized place at Sierra College for veterans, military members, and their dependents. We understand that the transition from military to college life can be challenging, so we are committed to providing the best assistance in appreciation for your sacrifice and service. We can help with everything from processing your educational benefits to connecting you with resources and services offered at Sierra College and in our community.
We’re proud to be ranked #5 in the West for public two-year schools and #35 in the nation on Military Times’ “Best for Vets: Colleges” 2021 list.
