As both a military veteran and academic, LSSU President Hanley recognizes the value of this partnership. \u201cThe members of the Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie, are an integral part of our community,\u201d he stated, \u201cI am proud to continue the long standing agreement with the USCG and I look forward to welcoming more active duty members and their dependents to take advantage of LSSU\u2019s unique and innovative programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

LSSU has a tradition of being a military-friendly institution. In fact, when it was established in 1946, it was to address the needs of returning World War II veterans, and to provide educational opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula. Thus this agreement, now in its 10th year, is a natural fit for the University. It sets LSSU\u2019s tuition equal to the Coast Guard Tuition Assistance Program for Sector Sault Coast Guardsmen. Since its inception, over 100 Coast Guard personnel and their dependants have taken advantage of the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly grateful to continue our decade long partnership with LSSU to accommodate our Coast Guard members and their dependents,\u201d said Captain Nelson. \u201cThis agreement significantly assists our Coast Guard family\u2019s pursuit of their educational goals. Over the past decade, numerous active duty members and their dependents have furthered their education right here in Sault Sainte Marie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie is responsible for all Coast Guard missions on Lake Superior, northern Lakes Michigan and Huron, and surrounding navigable waterways, to include Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Aids to Navigation, Marine Safety, and Homeland Security. Coast Guardsmen, reservists, spouses, and dependents who are interested in taking advantage of the program should contact their Education Services Officer or Admissions<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
