Military

Five military spouses received a special phone call last week — one that has the potential for a positive lifelong impact. They were selected to receive full-tuition scholarships for an online degree from SNHU in partnership with Operation Homefront.

Operation Homefront and Southern New Hampshire University awarded five military spouses full-tuition scholarships this spring to earn a degree from SNHU. The scholarships give recipients the chance to prioritize their education through a flexible and military-friendly online learning model.

Charting a unique path from the Air Force to earning his degree, Michael Shimkus reflects on his journey. From leveraging the GI Bill® at SNHU to later connecting with the USO, Shimkus’s story is one of adaptability, dedication and a commitment to lifelong learning and service.

On Military Spouse Appreciation Day, SNHU honors its military spouse community and recent graduates each year. This year we are celebrating Eliana Cornejo '23, a military spouse for the past 13 years, who recently earned her bachelor's in business administration.
