FTCC has been named a Military-Spouse Friendly School for the 2023-24 academic year.
The designation was awarded by Viqtory, an independent media organization that connects the military community to civilian employment, educational and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The organization ranked FTCC fifth in the large community college category.
Scot McCosh, FTCC’s Director of Military and Veterans Programs, said in a press release that FTCC is “humbled to be recognized” for its efforts in serving the military-connected community.
The Military and Veterans Programs department recently underwent a rebrand to include prominent use of the acronym MVP, which McCosh said reflects the department’s belief in the value of military-connected students, including service members’ spouses and children.
“If you ask any military member or veteran they’ll let you know that their family members have borne the greatest burden of their military service,” McCosh said in a press release. “That is why we strive to provide these MVP spouses and children with the highest quality of service assisting them in achieving their education whether they join us face-to-face here on campus or online anywhere in the world.
“It’s our way of saying thank-you and impacting the local and global workforce by connecting the gifts, grit and grace of military spouses to our programs and industry partners,” he continued in a press release.
This recognition follows Fayetteville Tech’s earning of the Top 10 Military Friendly School designation in March, where they landed at No. 8 among large community colleges.
