Lawrence Tech earns 2024-25 Military Friendly School designation

March 27, 2024

SOUTHFIELD—Lawrence Technological University announced that it has earned the 2024-25 Military Friendly School designation from Viqtory, a Coraopolis, Pa.-based, disabled-veteran-owned company focused on linking military veterans and the employers that want to hire them.

Viqtory publishes several military- and veteran-focused magazines and websites.

Officials at Viqtory said universities earning the Military Friendly designation were evaluated using both public data sources for more than 8,800 institutions of higher education in the United States, as well as responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2024-2025 survey, with 537 earning Military Friendly awards.

The 2024-2025 Military Friendly Schools list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from a Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, degree advancement or transfer rates, and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

“Lawrence Tech offers a special welcome and continuing services for all those who have served our nation in the armed forces, who defend America’s freedom and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice,” said LTU President Tarek M. Sobh.

Lawrence Tech offers a 15 percent tuition discount to all active military, inactive, reserve, or retired military. Also, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has designated Lawrence Tech as a “Yellow Ribbon School” for providing up to $5,500 per year in aid to qualified veterans.

“Military Friendly is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process,” said Kayla Lopez, national director of military partnerships for Military Friendly. “Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the military community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, going over and above that standard.”
