(Estherville)– Iowa Lakes Community College has been awarded a grant of a little more $528,000 to develop a Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success on the Estherville and Emmetsburg campuses.
The center, funded by a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education, will support the success of veteran students by coordinating services that address academic, financial, physical and social needs. College officials say the overall goals are to increase veteran enrollment, improve veteran academic success and increase veteran post-graduation outcomes.
They add the center will also provide comprehensive support services such as academic, mental health, physical health and enhanced learning opportunities.
