Why this school is an excellent choice for military membersNew England College in Henniker, New Hampshire was founded in 1946 to serve the educational needs of the service men and women returning home at the close of World War II. The G.I. bill, introduced at the time to finance post-secondary education, revolutionized the educational process, created a wealth of opportunities for our veterans, and contributed to what many have described as ‘the greatest generation.”
Honoring the principle upon which the College was founded and the service of the men and women of the armed forces, New England College has instituted a comprehensive veterans program that helps veterans and active reservists take full advantage of their military education benefits. We are a Yellow Ribbon Program College and can also offer additional assistance to Pre-9/11 eligible veterans with our unique military scholarship program (Russel Durgin Military Scholarship) named in honor of one of our own local heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
