Southern Maine Community College

Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) was founded in 1946 to serve World War II Veterans. Today, SMCC continues to challenge, engage and provide unparalleled veteran support. Yearly, over 250 Veterans are provided individual academic and personal support from a VA Certifying Official with over 15 years of experience. SMCC was the first college (2 or 4 year) in Maine to offer combat-wounded veterans designated parking. A member of NAVPA and AVECO organizations, SMCC strives to keep up to date with best practices and connect with other Certifying Officials across the United States. The College offers Veterans priority registration, VA work-study employment and in 2024 we will be moving into a much larger space for our Veterans Resource Center.
