A school’s reputation is its most valuable asset. But how do you prove your commitment to the military community in a way that is authentic, transparent, and trusted? The truth is, a simple mission statement or a few support programs aren’t enough. To truly succeed, you need a blueprint. Military Friendly School Membership does just that.
At Military Friendly®, we believe that “Service Redefined” means demonstrating an unwavering commitment to those who have served, backed by measurable actions that create a clear standard. This blog post explores what a Military Friendly® membership really gives you, the tools to build a best-in-class veteran program and a reputation that attracts a higher caliber of student.
A Blueprint for Programs That Truly Work
The foundation of a great military-friendly program is not an accident, it’s a design. A membership with Military Friendly® gives you a comprehensive framework to build a veteran-inclusive campus from the ground up, ensuring your programs are effective and authentic.
Resolves the “where do we start?” objection: Our methodology is based on a rigorous, third-party survey that provides an in-depth assessment of your programs and policies. It serves as your developmental framework, providing you with a clear roadmap for where you stand and what you can do to improve.
Resolves the “how do we know what works?” objection: We provide you with access to proprietary data and best practices from other top-performing schools. You can see what successful institutions are doing and get a clear blueprint for how to replicate their success.
The Power of Data: Your Path to Executive Buy-In
Executive leaders and university boards speak in the language of ROI and measurable impact. A Military Friendly® membership gives you the tools to speak that language and prove the value of your veteran programs.
Resolves the “how do we justify the cost?” objection: We provide transparent scoring and benchmarking reports that allow you to compare your performance to your peers. This data gives you a clear and compelling business case for securing the long-term funding you need to sustain and grow your program.
Resolves the “how do we prove our impact?” objection: Our data helps you move beyond anecdotal success stories. You can use our metrics on veteran engagement and student satisfaction scores to show leadership that your programs are not just serving students but are also improving retention and boosting your school’s reputation.
Building a Community of Purpose, Together
A Military Friendly School membership is more than just a set of tools; it’s an invitation to a community of like-minded institutions. You’re joining a movement of excellence.
Resolves the “we’re doing this alone” objection: You get access to a network of schools that are dedicated to serving the military community. You can share best practices, collaborate on new initiatives, and learn from each other’s successes.
