Military Education and Service
Committed to those who learn and serve.
From ROTC leadership development and officer preparation to its designation as a Purple Heart College, Veterans Resource Center, and support for students using VA education benefits, Morris College maintains a continuing commitment to those who serve, those who have served, and their families.
Students can pursue a Morris College education while preparing for future military leadership, transitioning from military service into higher education, or using benefits earned through their own service or the service and sacrifice of a family member.
Veterans Resource Center
The Morris College Veterans Resource Center assists military-connected individuals and their dependents with issues related to enrolling in college, obtaining financial assistance, and securing supportive services while pursuing their college education.
Army and Air Force ROTC
Morris College is home to Reserve Officers’ Training Programs which offer students the opportunity to pursue their college degree while simultaneously training to become commissioned officers in the United States Army or United States Air Force.
PURPLE HEART COLLEGE
Honoring Service and Sacrifice
Morris College was designated a Purple Heart College by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, General George L. Mabry, Jr. Chapter 817, in recognition of the college’s support for military members, veterans, and their families.
The designation recognizes Morris College’s commitment to members of the Armed Forces and particularly those who have been wounded during combat while serving the nation. The historical designation identified Morris College as the first college or university in the area to receive the Purple Heart College honor.
The recognition also reflects the College’s broader commitment to veterans through its Veterans Resource Center and its support for students with connections to military service.
