CLEVELAND — Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) has earned its 16th consecutive Military Friendly® School designation in recognition of its commitment to serving veteran and active military students and their families. The College was recognized as a Top 10 Military Friendly School and a Top 10 Military Spouse Friendly School among large community colleges.
Institutions were evaluated in categories such as graduation rates, student retention and job placement success.
"Supporting student veterans and their families during their time at Tri-C is important to their success in the transition from military life to civilian life," said Marjorie Morrison, the director of Tri-C's Veteran and Military Connected Services. "Each year, our team works with hundreds of veterans and veteran families to provide a sense of belonging throughout the College. We are proud once again to be recognized as a Military Friendly School and a Military Spouse Friendly School."
More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey, with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard. The full list of schools is available at the Military Friendly Schools website.
The Military Friendly program was created to help service members and their families select the best college, university or trade school to receive the education and skills needed to pursue a civilian career.
Tri-C works with hundreds of military families each year through its veteran service centers, which offer a full array of support services to help veterans reach educational and career goals as they transition from soldiers to civilians.
The centers are located at the Eastern Campus in Highland Hills, the Metropolitan Campus in Cleveland, the Western Campus in Parma and the Westshore Campus in Westlake. Staff members build relationships with veterans on campus and help them navigate their unique challenges to meet their educational goals.
