Front Range Community College Named a Top Veteran School Nationwide

Front Range Community College (FRCC) has earned national recognition for its commitment to serving veterans, military-connected students and their families.

The college has been named a 2026 Top Veteran School by US Veterans Magazine, which evaluates institutions across the country for their support of military-connected students and their educational success.

The recognition highlights FRCC’s approach to helping veterans transition into higher education, access earned benefits and prepare for meaningful civilian careers.

Supporting Veterans Beyond the Classroom

FRCC’s Military & Veterans Services team assists approximately 1,000 students annually, offering specialized guidance and resources for veterans, active-duty service members and military families.

Each of the college’s three campuses has a dedicated Veteran Success Coach who is also a veteran, providing students with firsthand understanding of the transition from military service to college life. Additional staff help students navigate educational benefits, academic planning and career opportunities.

The college also evaluates applicable military training and experience for potential academic credit, helping eligible students build on the skills they have already developed.

Connecting Education to Career Opportunities

Beyond academic support, FRCC helps military-connected students prepare for employment in fields including health care, advanced manufacturing, information technology, skilled trades and public service.

Through career advising, interview preparation and connections to regional employers, the college helps students translate their military experience into opportunities in the civilian workforce.

For Northern Colorado, this recognition reflects the important connection between accessible education, workforce development and the successful transition of veterans into our communities and workplaces.
