Free Courses, Internships, Donation Drive

We’re gearing up for the Spring’s 2nd session for free VUB college-preparatory modules, with some self-paced/open entry classes, and online/hybrid options for you to choose from, in addition to the Success Workshop series.  See your VUB advisor at the Prescott or Verde Valley campuses to sign up today!

If you would like to help a currently deployed veteran, VUB is collecting donations for care packages for the Blue Star Moms’.  Drop your donations of small items (non-perishable individual packets/servings of candy, powdered drinks, paperback books, small games, toiletries, CDs) at the VUB office in Prescott Rm 1-209, or Verde Valley Rm M-125.

Student Veterans of America is proud to announce the Internship Support Program (ISP) application is now open for the second consecutive year! The ISP provides student veterans with a monthly stipend to offset the financial burden of an unpaid internship. SVA will award up to fifty (50) ISP stipends. For every four (4) weeks of their internship, SVA will provide a $500 allowance. Since internships are an invaluable way to get an inside look at a potential career, and often leads to a job offer, we are providing financial support to unpaid internships as an added incentive. Applications will be accepted from now until April 15, 2012 and finalists will be notified by the end of April. For more information or to apply for one of these scholarships, please visit log in and click on the Internship Support Program (ISP) link in the Member Services Homepage!
