As you may know, thousands of veterans return from overseas every year, and each faces unique challenges, while assimilating back into civilian life and pursuing an education. With more men and women returning from service, supporting our nation’s veterans is a growing issue in the educational landscape.
Los Angeles is full of veteran education supporters. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Rosland Capital – an LA-based leading precious metals firm – have created a fund in partnership with UCLA’s Veteran Resource Office (VRO) at the Bruin Resource Center to provide education, wellness and financial resources for veteran students. In September and January, Rosland Capital will donate a combined $10,000 to UCLA’s VRO to elevate success of its student veterans through programs offered during the Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 quarters.
Rosland Capital is taking steps to make a difference, doing its part to help LA veterans in need achieve educational goals, but the work’s not done yet. UCLA’s Veterans programs are relatively new and growing.
