Military

U.S. Army veteran Nathaniel Lohn has held many titles in his life. He's been an Army medic, musician, teacher and aide to a former U.S. senator, but today he adds a new title to his roster. He's a college graduate. On Aug. 31, SNHU and the USO awarded Lohn his diploma at a graduation celebration.

Jennifer Ready has tried to finish her bachelor's degree a few times, but she's needed to put her mental health first. Now with a newfound determination and a full tuition scholarship from Operation Homefront and SNHU, she is ready to complete her bachelor's degree. 

Tara Yonce has big dreams, and getting her college degree is only the beginning. As a military spouse and stay-at-home mom to her young son, she hasn't had much time to focus on her education. Having been awarded a full-tuition scholarship to Southern New Hampshire University her dreams are becoming a reality.

Each year on Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Southern New Hampshire University celebrates its military spouse community. Among more than 1,600 military-affiliated graduates at this year’s spring Commencement were two military spouses who are now one step closer to reaching their goals.
