Nova Southeastern University (NSU) proudly recognizes the contributions our servicemen and servicewomen as well as their families make to our country. In honor of Veterans Day on November 11, 2010, the Office of the President will be hosting a reception for the NSU military community, including veteran students and staff, active service members, and the executive administration in November. The idea for the NSU Salute to Veterans and Service Members (formerly NSU Yellow Ribbon Scholarship Reception) was born last year, when the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) introduced the Yellow Ribbon Scholarship. Through the Yellow Ribbon program, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, colleges and universities voluntarily enter into an agreement with the VA to offer reduced tuition and fees to veterans who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. NSU eagerly partnered with the VA to make over 500 scholarships available to eligible students for a total institution match of $1,263.000. For the 2010-2011 academic year, NSU has increased its contribution. For more information on Veterans benefits at NSU, visit https://sharkfins.nova.edu/nsu//financialaid/veterans/index.html.
I think it’s a great thing to do for our veterans, to honor them for their sacrafice.
