Lake Washington Institute of Technology is one of Washington’s community and technical colleges named as one of the nation’s top military friendly schools.

The 2014 Military Friendly Schools list that was recently released honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that do the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.

The list was compiled through research and data-driven analysis of surveys from more than 10,000 schools nationwide approved for Veteran’s funding.

The national accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP independently audited the results, which were based on upon established weightings and methodology. Lake Washington was among only 1,868 schools nationwide to make the list.
