Student veterans get support

WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI)- West Point gave back to the Mississippi State Veterans Center.

West Point representatives presented over $3,000 to the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans.

The proceeds are from the town’s Veteran’s Day parade that took place in November.

The money goes back to student veterans to help support them while they’re in school.

“We use this money for various things so it can either be scholarships, either help pay tuition, hardships, scholarships. We do a lot of programs and services for our student Veterans here, so we can use this money very easily.” said Director of the Veterans Center Brian Locke.

MSU is nationally recognized for its support of veterans, active duty personnel, and dependents.

Last month, the university was named a top 10 Military Friendly School.
