College Matchmaker Launches on militaryfriendlyschools.com

New website tool matches millions of military and veteran students with colleges.

PITTSBURGH, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- G.I. Jobs announces the launch of its military and veteran College Matchmaker at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com. The new website helps military veterans find the colleges that best meet their personal educational needs.

The College Matchmaker tool progressively filters school search criteria, including military credit transferability, degree type, geographic location, financial support, flexibility, area of study and student support. The redesigned website also includes student-veteran bloggers, an Ask the Expert tool, and resources on the new post-9/11 G.I. Bill. Users will also find full school profiles and an innovative system that allows future students to request information from multiple schools with just one click.  

"I found the Military Friendly Schools print guide and website to be an invaluable resource when looking at different colleges," said Joe Mungo Jr., U.S. Navy Lieutenant and graduate student at Old Dominion University in Virginia. "A lot of schools claim to be 'military friendly' but this website gave me the facts. militaryfriendlyschools.com does the homework for veterans and makes their choice of schools easier."

Higher education has always had a strong desire to recruit military students but that demand has reached a fever pitch with the passage of new G.I. Bill legislation last year. The new, post-9/11 G.I. Bill arms military students with more tuition money than ever before in history. "Military and veteran students have so many choices on where to go to school. The College Matchmaker on www.militaryfriendlyschools.com is their trusted source on helping them navigate that decision matrix," said Rich McCormack, G.I. Jobs publisher.
