The VetLink Addendum
The Service to School VetLink Addendum is a demilitarized resume that is added to your college application (through our VetLink Program) as a means to translate your military experiences for members of the admissions committee. But how do you convince the committee members that you possess the desired attributes if the members have no understanding of how the military has prepared you for success? You do it by making it easy for them to truly value and understand what you bring to the table. A well-developed and thoughtfully constructed VetLink Addendum will demonstrate predictors of success while revealing authenticity, passion, and character. Hear from six of our VetLink partners as they share why the VetLink Addendum is so important and how it helps them better understand you as a Veteran applicant.
