Sep 24, 2014

Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) has earned the Military Friendly School designation.  FSW is listed in the annual Military Friendly Schools list released by Victory Media for 2015. 

“FSW strives to offer the best college experience to all students, and recognizes that veterans are searching for colleges that provide support and assistance to them and their families while balancing their military experiences and benefits,” said Denise Thompson, Veteran’s Affairs Specialist at FSW.

Schools on this list represent the top tier of institutions with leading opportunities for military service members and spouses.

“We are so proud of our military men and women and want to help support them in their academic endeavors,” said Thompson.  “They have all given so much for our freedoms and this is just one small thing we can do for them as they pursue their educational and career goals.”
