UMA named ‘Best for Vets’ by Military Times

AUGUSTA – The University of Maine at Augusta has been recognized by Military Times as “Best for Vets,” for its service to veterans, military service members, and their families.
“UMA’s faculty and staff are dedicated to maintaining a welcoming community for all,” IMA President Rebecca Wyke said. “Receiving this recognition confirms our commitment to providing educational opportunities to military service members and veterans that began in 1965 and continues to this day.”
Amy Line, UMA director of military and veterans’ services, said, “We are very pleased to receive this recognition by Military Times again this year. Our support for military service members and veterans, and their families begins when they apply and continues until they successfully complete their degree program.”
The rankings are “based on survey responses from schools as well as public data about colleges and universities obtained from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs.” Institutions were evaluated in four categories: academic and financial aid information, admissions and registration information, and military resources at the institution and tracking student success.
