The transition from military life to civilian life can be challenging. EIT has successfully educated many veterans and helped them began rewarding careers. You have served your country well and EIT is here to return the favor by helping enter a career you and your family can be proud of. We offer Veteran Education Benefit programs to eligible veterans, active duty, and dependents.
EIT Has Earned the Military Friendly School Designation
The Military Friendly Schools designation is awarded to the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success both in the classroom and after graduation. The methodology used for making the Military Friendly® Schools list has changed the student veteran landscape to one much more transparent, and has played a significant role over the past seven years in capturing and advancing best practices to support military students across the country.
