Just in time for Military Spouse Appreciation Day, which is Friday, May 6, we are excited to announce today the expansion of our website www.SalutetoSpouses.com, as the new go-to resource for education and career news for military spouses.
Bryant & Stratton is proud to be a "military spouse college" meaning that we have programs designed to make it easier for military spouses to get an education. Besides the convenience of being able to complete a degree online - perfect for military wives and husbands who may find themselves moving house frequently - we provide other online educational resources for military spouses. In particular, we take pride in our online resource SalutetoSpouses.com. Home of the college’s Salute to Spouses Scholarship, which awards $6,000 towards a Bryant & Stratton College degree to spouses of active duty military personnel, SalutetoSpouses.com is also an online community that military spouses can join to read the latest articles on careers and education as well as participate in a wide variety of forums with their peers.
Edited by a military spouse, with contributing writers who are military wives as well. This unique online resource is sponsored by Bryant & Stratton College’s military relations department and features weekly polls, how to articles, tips, resources, advice columns, personal stories, and financial aid options for military spouses.
“As military spouses, we understand the challenge of earning a degree or navigating the competitive job market while caring for your military family,” said Allison Perkins, Editor at SalutetoSpouses.com. “SalutetoSpouses.com is a community where military spouses can find support, information and resources tailored to their unique needs.”
SalutetoSpouses.com engages its user community on a variety of topics through forums and blogs. Registered community members are also able to receive a monthly newsletter that keeps them aware of new content that has been added to the site that month.
Bryant & Stratton College created the Salute to Spouses scholarship after the U.S. government temporarily suspended and later reinstated a restructured MyCAA in 2010. The expansion of the site builds on the success of the scholarship and increases the resources available to military personnel and their families interested in earning their degree or building a sustainable career.
“We understand the commitment and sacrifices that military spouses make. We are proud to support them with the Salute to Spouses scholarship and now with SalutetoSpouses.com, which will help by providing critical information on career and education issues specific to their experience as a military spouse,” said Ed Dennis, Military Relations Manager at Bryant & Stratton College. “Creating a portable and sustainable career is incredibly important for military spouses and often requires advanced education, but a college degree is now more accessible than ever to military spouses.”
