For the fourth straight year, Austin Community College District (ACC) earned the Gold Veterans Education Excellence Recognition Award (VEERA) from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), the highest level of recognition for colleges and universities supporting veterans and military-connected students.
The award recognizes institutions that provide education, resources, and support services to help veterans and their families succeed in higher education.
ACC’s Veterans Resource Center (VRC), located at the Highland Campus, serves as a hub for military-affiliated students. Since opening in 2015, the VRC has offered:
- Academic advising and assistance navigating college
- Financial aid and veterans education benefits support
- Connections to campus and community resources
- Emotional and personal support
- Outreach and programs focused on veteran and military-connected student success
