For the third year in a row, IU Southeast will receive the Operation Diploma Grant – a grant that helps assist the university in its efforts to support student veterans and their families. The grant is a partnership between IU Southeast and Ivy Tech. The Operation Diploma Grant is made possible through Lilly Endowment, Inc. and is an initiative of the Military Family Research Institute at Purdue University. Operation Diploma Grant seeks to educate Indiana institutions about the needs of student service members and veterans, engage them in promising practices related to serving the population and generate new knowledge in the process.
