HPU Wins CCME 2010 “Institution Award”

The Council of College and Military Educators (CCME) is a non-profit organization founded over three decades ago to help deliver quality educational opportunities to service members and their families. Their members include military educators, civilian educators, post-secondary educational institutions, and suppliers of military-friendly educational services.

Students looking for a college or university for their Post 9/11 GI Bill, MGIB, or other military benefits can rest assured that CCME member schools will provide them with high quality education. Take Hawai’i Pacific University, for example- which recently made our list the Top 25 Military Friendly Colleges for 2010. To add to their list of accolades, the CCME recently selected them as the recipient of the 2010 Institution Award for the significant contributions made to the cause of voluntary off-duty military education programs. Only one university is selected per year for this award, which is subject to the following criteria:

The nominee must be an institution directly involved in the support of voluntary off-duty education to the armed forces.

The Awards Committee, at its discretion, may seek a written recommendation from the nominee’s institutional leader (president, provost, dean, etc.).

The Awards Committee shall ascertain that the nominee’s organizational accomplishments are deserving of the award, and that these accomplishments demonstrate the nominee’s dedication and leadership in supporting quality voluntary off-duty education to the armed services.

If a nominee has been the recipient of any CCME Award in the past 5 years they are deemed an ineligible nominee.

Students interested in additional financial aid may apply for a military scholarship of $500 through CCME (deadline in September), that can be used at any military-friendly college or university. Enter your information here to receive additional information about Hawai’i Pacific University.
