Creating a virtual veterans center of excellence for student success at indiana tech

The Indiana Institute of Technology Inc., doing business as Indiana Tech, received a $405,242 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) federal grant program. The award will support the creation of a Virtual Veterans Center of Excellence for Student Success at Indiana Tech from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

The FIPSE program aims to fund institutional reforms and innovative strategies to improve postsecondary instruction quality and expand educational opportunities. Indiana Tech's Virtual Veterans Center project aligns with this goal by leveraging technology to better serve student veterans and support their academic success, despite physical distance from campus resources. The three-year award will allow Indiana Tech to develop and implement virtual support services customized for veterans' needs as they pursue their education.
