Montgomery County Community College has earned the 2026-2027 Military Friendly Schools Designation, recognized as a 2026-2027 Top 10 Military Friendly School.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly Schools designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 3,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by consultation with the Military Friendly, in the Military Friendly Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score, public data, and an assessment of the institution’s ability to meet and exceed thresholds for student recruitment, retention, academic progress, graduation rates, career placement, and support services for veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses.
Among the programs MCCC offers to support veterans, National Guard/Reserve members, active-duty service members, spouses, and family members are assistance with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits and Certification; VA work-study opportunities; priority course registration; a veterans’ lounge with technology services; free, on-site academic coaching and online tutoring; community collaboration and networking events. MCCC also hosts an annual Veterans Day breakfast and Sept. 11 Remembrance event on both campuses.
The Veterans Resource Center is located on the Blue Bell Campus next to the Fine Arts Center. Services are also available at the Pottstown Campus in South Hall within the Student Services area.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a 2026-2027 Top 10 Military Friendly School for the second consecutive year,” said Chris Weaver, Manager of Veteran Services. “This honor reflects the unwavering dedication of our entire team, whose commitment to serving our veteran and military-connected students continues to make a meaningful impact every day. Together, we strive to create an environment where those who have served — and their families — can succeed and thrive.”
“Earning the Military Friendly designation is more than a badge of honor; it is a reflection of an institution’s deep-rooted values and strategic commitment to those who served,” said Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships, Military Friendly. “These schools don’t just open doors for veterans and military spouses, they build sustainable pathways for academic success and long-term impact. Their support is transformative, proving that investing in military-connected students is both a moral imperative and a standard for educational excellence.”
MCCC will be showcased in the 2026-2027 Guide to Schools in the April issue of Military Friendly G.I. Jobs magazine and online here.
