CFCC earns 2023-2024 Military Friendly® School Gold Status designation

Wilmington, NC – Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) is proud to announce that it earned the 2023-2024 Military Friendly® School designation again. This year CFCC received gold status. Gold award winners have programs that scored within 20 percent of the 10th-ranked institution within their category.

The Military Friendly® School designation is awarded yearly by VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned business. This award recognizes higher education institutions that provide the best opportunities for veterans and their families. Institutions earning the designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.

“We are thrilled to be again recognized as a military-friendly school,” said Jason Bocchino, CFCC Veterans Affairs Coordinator. “CFCC’s commitment to supporting military students and their families is commendable, and we are committed to ensuring that our efforts make a real difference in the lives of these students and their families.”

“We are honored to receive this designation and proud to be recognized for our efforts to support military students and their families,” said Jim Morton, CFCC President. “We recognize the sacrifices that military families make and are committed to providing them with the resources and support they need to succeed.”

CFCC houses a Veterans Center at the Wilmington Campus and two other veteran lounges at the North Campus in Castle Hayne and the Alston W. Burke Center in Surf City. These spaces provide veterans with resources and a place to decompress and build relationships with one another. In addition, CFCC offers priority registration to veteran benefit holders.
