  In Roundtable Session: College-Going, Success, and Persistence Among Veterans and Military Families

Abstract

This study examined the differences between civilian and military children in their attainment of milestones towards college. In spite of the intensive deployment military families experienced between 2002 and 2004, the process of attainment of milestones toward college among military children is remarkably similar to that of civilian children.
