Kansas Offers Wounded Warrior Education

Week of February 18, 2008

The Army and the University of Kansas have created a new partnership that will allow wounded Soldiers to earn a Master's degree at the school. Those wishing to participate in the "Wounded Warrior Education Initiative" must have been wounded in the war on terror and have a campaign medal. They may be either active duty, or medically retired active-component or reserve-component Soldiers. Under the pilot program, participants will complete their master's degree at the University of Kansas, while the Army picks up the cost of that education. Depending on its success the program may be expanded to include other civilian universities, other Army institutions of learning or even other branches of service. Learn more from the University of Kansas website.
