SYRACUSE. N.Y. — Visions Federal Credit Union (FCU) is working with Syracuse University (SU) on a success program targeting student veterans.
Visions FCU and SU’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs (OVMA) announced the initiative during the recent veteran and military-connected student orientation.
The program will provide new academic resources and professional-advancement services to student veterans at Syracuse University, Visions said in its announcement.
The initiative will offer access to tutoring, upskilling, and financial-readiness resources. It will also work to improve existing career and transition services. The program is designed to help student veterans “succeed academically, professionally, and personally,” Visions FCU said.
The program is open to all student veterans enrolled at Syracuse University.
“We are proud to partner with Syracuse University’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs to support student veterans,” Tim Strong, director of branding and public relations at Visions FCU, said in a statement. “This impactful program is a natural fit for our mission of helping people achieve their financial goals. We appreciate the commitment and sacrifice of our veteran and military connected communities and are committed to providing both with the resources they need to succeed.”
