Veterans Friendly Attributes
At Life Support Training Institute we proudly serve and train veterans and their dependents for rewarding and fulfilling careers in the health care and health service industry. Here are 10 ways our professional staff and faculty are dedicated to helping you achieve your educational goals:
1. Discounted Tuition for Military Veterans and Dependents.
State level education benefits and the GI bill may not always cover the entire cost of earning your EMS/EMT certification. This is particularly true for military students who are not eligible for GI Bill benefits or are not eligible for 100 percent of the benefit, as well as military family members. LSTI recognizes these shortcomings and offers discounts to fill these gaps and ensure out-of-pocket cost to military students is minimized.
2. Generous Transfer Credit Policies
LSTI can provide an excellent opportunity to transfer credits veterans may have earned while in the military and attending college, EMT training and accreditation classes or American Heart Association classes. Your military service training in EMT or EMS may also be considered as possible credit or transfer credit.
3. In-State Tuition Waivers
Relocating comes with he job of serving in the military. LSTI understands this and offers in-state tuition rates to service members. This tuition benefit is also available to military family members and their dependents.
4. Dedicated Veteran Counselors and Staff
At LSTI our staff will work with you to make your transition from military life to a professional training environment seamless and simple. Our advisory staff understands how to help navigate the paperwork to ensure you get the VA education benefits you have earned.
5. Special Policies for Deployments
LSTI does not penalize military students who may be called back to active service while attending classes. Service members who are deployed or given TDY or PCS order that interfere with their course work are able to requests military withdrawal. Documentation must be submitted to verify the student's status and approved military withdrawals result in no financial or academic penalties for students. Students may also be able to resume their studies online depending upon the course work required.
6. Accreditation
Military students may need to be certain the degree they earn carries real career value so choosing an accredited school is crucial. Academic an institutional accreditation provides students with confidence that a school can deliver on its promise of academic quality and financial stability.
7. Veterans Orientation Course
Making the transition back to civilian life is a challenge, adding the transition to college can be challenging too. LSTI provides student orientation for all EMS courses and our staff is available to answer any questions that you may have. Please contact us at 866-FOR-LSTI for more info.
8. Student Veteran Groups
As a military friendly school, LSTI offers students veteran clubs and organizations as mutual support groups.
9. Flexible Attendance and Scheduling Options
LSTI understands that not every military student can attend classes during the day. For that reason we offer evening and weekend classes to accommodate busy workday schedules along with a number of distance learning options. Most of LSTI's classes are available offered at times and campus locations that accommodate the military student's highly mobile schedule. Our goal is to allow you the flexibility to continue your education no matter what your military or job demands might be with options of self-paced courses and certifications available through distance learning venues.
10. Understanding that not all students are not 18 years old and single
Student veterans have families to support and educate. For such students we offer exceptional support services including Adult Re-entry and Veterans Upward Bound programs. LSTI also accepts military spouse and family education assistance programs including MyCAA through Military One Source. LSTI staff members can assist students in obtaining information and/or providing referrals in many areas including admissions, childcare, housing, tutoring and study skills. The goal is in facilitating the non-traditional learner to transition to LSTI by providing the necessary resources to help overcome challenges and concerns specific to the military student.
