For the second year in a row, State Fair Community College was named to the G.I. Jobs’ Military Friendly Schools list, which honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that ensure success for military service members and veterans.
“With Whiteman Air Force Base being so close, we’ve always had a good relationship between us and the base, but we’ve really focused on expanding and improving services for enlisted military members and veterans in the past few years,” said Brent Bates, vice president for education and student support services.
