Aside from Service to School’s normal mentorship service, students are encouraged to use the VetLink program. Service to School VetLink applicants not only work one on one with a mentor, but they also work with a S2S staff member who guides them throughout the entire application process, and directly connects them with the admissions teams at partner institutions. This enables both the student to better prepare their application, and each school receives supplemental information on the veteran student which highly increases the students chance of being accepted.
