<p>TMA Towson University Support Military-Connected Student</p> <p>The project aims to support the health and economic stability of students at Towson University who are veterans and military-connected, addressing financial insecurity through financial literacy education and increasing Pell Grant utilization. It seeks to boost persistence and retention rates by providing targeted academic, social, and personal support, including specialized one-on-one advising. Graduation rates will improve through these interventions, opening doors to well-paid, sustainable employment.
