"Nothing in life that's worthwhile comes easy. If you want to attend a T25 university, you must work extremely hard to matriculate into the university of your dreams. However, don't go through it alone. Take advantage of the numerous invaluable resources, especially Service to School, during the application process. Your perseverance through tribulations and willingness to ask for help will pave the way for success." - Austin Lambert, Princeton University ‘28 Our Ambassadors support veterans during the application process, ready to support goals of matriculating into the school of their dreams ✨ https://lnkd.in/e6VjHXUN

"Peer-to-peer mentorship is an essential part of the higher education journey. It not only enables the passing of knowledge between cohorts of Vets, but also reflects the business environments that Vets will find themselves in upon completion of school--one that requires learning rapidly and maintaining a willingness to be coached by others of all backgrounds." - Tim McLaughlin, Stanford University Graduate School of Business 2026 Veterans belong on college campuses, point blank. We're here to support you along the way: https://lnkd.in/e6VjHXUN

"S2S matched me with a solid mentor who provided detailed feedback on my essays and connected me to other veterans who could explain various benefits available to me. I talked to a TON of people throughout this process, and each one shed light on a new aspect or resource I had not considered" - Clara Navarro, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons 2028 You don't have to forge your path to higher ed alone ✨ https://lnkd.in/e6VjHXUN

"The VetLink Addendum was the biggest benefit to using Service to School during my application process. Essay prompts generally aren't written with the expectation that applicants have served in the military. Being given the opportunity to write specifically about my service helped me put my best foot forward." - Ichiro Tomaszewski, Brown University 2028 Gain access to top-tier education programs reserved for military veterans through our VetLink partnership: https://lnkd.in/gv3xQnvW

"My Ambassador was phenomenal in guiding me towards schools that perfectly aligned with my needs, some of which I hadn't even considered before. His assistance in navigating the intricate application process, particularly as a veteran, was invaluable. I highly recommend fellow veterans to utilize the resources offered by S2S to maximize their chances of securing admission to their top-choice schools."- Stephen Burns, Princeton University 2028 Veterans contribute rich experience to college campuses. You just have to take the first step to that goal.. ✨ https://lnkd.in/e6VjHXUN

"Graduate school applications are a daunting and unfamiliar process for service members. Managing the admission timeline, crafting a compelling story, and translating military experience are all absolutely vital. Rather than starting from zero, working with another vet who has already navigated this process provides an opportunity to accelerate the application process and produce the best possible result. Without my Service to School mentor, I would not have been successful." - Connor Byrne, Harvard Business School 2026 It takes just a couple of minutes to start your admissions journey to have S2S by your side. What are you waiting for? https://lnkd.in/e6VjHXUN
