MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) – Minnesota State Moorhead kicks off Veterans Week BY making an agreement giving servicemembers and guard employees in Minnesota and North Dakota a 15% tuition discount.
The plan also gives in-state tuition rates no matter where they live.
MSUM President Tim Downs was joined by Minnesota National Guard Brigadier General Jason Benson and North Dakota National Guard Brigadier General Mitchell Johnson to sign the agreement.
The university says this is one way the school shows its commitment to honoring those who serve.
“Having this come to fruition is something we’ve been working on for a while,” MSUM Veterans Resource Outreach Coordinator Josh Clarke said. “Anything we can do to take care of servicemembers and veterans is a great thing and this just adds to all the great work we’re already doing.”
Veterans Week ends on Saturday with a military appreciation football game at the Fargodome between the Dragons and Minnesota State Mavericks featuring the North Dakota Army National Guard Rappel Team.
