As an educational counselor working with marines, the author is knowledgeable about her topic. She explains how to choose a program of study, how to prepare an admission packet, and how to make the most of VA benefits. Discussed is the pursuit of higher education both while on active duty and after separating from the service.

Jill's book highlights the crucial steps of an important piece of this transition by providing an informative, accurate, and consolidated resource for Marines interested in seeking a higher education.

Synopsis
From the Marine Corps to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education offers clear and accessible information transitioning Marines need in order to find success in their pursuit of higher education. From available state and federal veterans' education benefits to navigating the maze of higher education, all pathways are explored., The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars have taken a harsh toll on our military's population. Some service members come back from combat ready for a change of pace, others get caught up in the draw down currently occurring within the services. Many of these service members decide to pursue higher education. Veterans' education benefits are a source of much discussion, but often hard to decipher. From the Marine Corps to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education aims to simplify this process. Designed to help Marines navigate the world of higher education and their available state and federal benefits, this accessible guide will better prepare veterans for tackling their new mission: college. From the Marine Corps to College can be read as a book from cover-to-cover, or as a reference manual section-by-section. The easy to follow format will assist Marines in furthering their educational goals.
