Fox Valley Technical College has a long history of providing education and training to veterans, service members and qualifying family members. It is a privilege to serve those who have served our country. Each year, we process about $1 million in education benefits for our veteran students who answered the call to serve our country before starting their academic journey.

In honor of Veterans Week, the FVTC Veterans Resource Center (Room E119, Appleton Campus) is hosting the following events. All events are free for veterans.
