In celebration, we wanted to also make you aware of a new Education Technology Grant offered by Grantham University. Eligible grant recipients will receive a Dell laptop to take full advantage of the portability of Grantham's online courses - so you can truly fit education into your life instead of arranging your life around your education.

For more information about this program and its eligibility requirements, please visit: http://www.grantham.edu/tidings/grants/Ed_Tech_Grant/etggu.php?iref=mhemail&mhb_emailETG509  For nearly 60 years, Grantham University has served the educational needs of military service members, veterans and spouses. Grantham was founded in 1951 by a veteran of World War II to help veterans prepare for new jobs and a better future upon their return to civilian life. Grantham was founded on the belief that every service member, veteran, and member of a military family should have the opportunity to pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree. It is because of this belief and our commitment to you the nation's military that the University created several military scholarship programs which reduce the tuition rate and include a Textbook and Software Grant that covers the cost of required textbooks and software, so earning a college degree can become a reality for everyone:

• Military Scholarships for Service Members
• Veterans Scholarship Program
• Military Family Scholarship Program
• Military Severely Injured Scholarship Program *

From everyone at MilitaryHandbooks.com to each and every one of you - thank you for your Service!

*Textbook and Software Grant is available for spouses and dependents only. For more details on the Military Severely Injured Scholarship Program, click here. http://www.grantham.edu/admissions/scholarships_injured.php?ref=mhbemail_disclaimer

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, & outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." - Anon
