Ranked Best for Vets by Military Times
Opportunities for Military & Veterans
Jefferson Community College is great for active military and veterans who want to earn college credit. Our college is close to the Fort Drum U.S. Army base, just a 10-minute drive away. Active duty military and their families can take classes on our main campus, which includes lab sciences, art, music, and culinary. We are the only physical college campus within a 50-mile radius of Watertown, and we were one of the first to partner with Fort Drum Education.
Veteran Services
We offer many veteran services to former military personnel and their families. As a Jefferson Cannoneer, you'll have access to classes and support staff at the Education Complex on Fort Drum. You'll also have access to veterans-only tutoring services, a veterans lounge, and more!
Aid for Military & Veterans
If you are currently serving in the military or have served in the past, you may be able to receive extra financial aid to help pay for college. Jefferson can offer you the necessary support to make your transition to college smoother.
