The Combat Vets have provided school supplies for Southeastern military-connected students.

“The Combat Vets Motorcycle Association has been providing school supplies for our students for the past two years,” said Director of Military and Veteran Success Emily Anthony. “They purchase regularly from our Amazon wish list and keep our storage stocked in the office. Any of our military-connected students can come grab them at any time free of charge.”

In addition to the Combat Vets, the American Legion Post 156 has donated financially to the office as well.

“The American Legion has donated over $12,000 to our office in different ways,” Anthony said. “Most recently they gave us the remaining amount needed to fully endow our scholarship for military students.”
