The Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University today awarded more than $1 million to 25 Indiana institutions of higher education that proposed ways to enhance services for the state’s student service members, veterans and their families.
The competitive grants were awarded through Operation Diploma, MFRI’s higher education initiative, to 25 Indiana post-secondary institutions. Since 2009 Operation Diploma has awarded more than $2.4 million to Indiana colleges and universities, which have used the funds to produce more effective and supportive services for these students.
Ivy Tech Community College Richmond won this year’s top award of $99,999, submitting a collaborative proposal with Indiana University East. Read more about the grants here.
