NJIT Designated as 'Military Friendly School' in National Guide

In the 10th annual Military Friendly® Schools list, NJIT has been awarded a “Bronze” distinction, exceeding in all six rating categories: academic policies and compliance, admission and orientation, culture and commitment, financial aid and assistance, graduation and career, and military student support and retention.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by the school. More than 1,000 schools participated in the 2020-2021 survey, with 625 schools earning the designation from every state in the country.

“It is an honor to have NJIT recognized for our dedication to our veteran community,” said Allison Babinksi, assistant registrar for Graduation, Veterans and Military Students. “NJIT strongly supports veterans, active-duty military, reservists, veteran dependents, and National Guard members as they pursue STEM degrees and careers.”

Babinski detailed that veterans are able to leverage their past experiences in the military with a top-notch education at NJIT, enabling them to successfully begin and thrive in the next stage of their lives. Veterans bring a diverse set of experiences and knowledge to the classroom, often to the benefit of other students in the class.
