Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

All Things K-9
This semester, the Carroll Anthrozoology Department offered a course specifically for veteran students. The class, ANZ-289-All Things K-9, focuses on the elements necessary in order to successfully train a service dog for other veterans with physical and mental disabilities. Students who have participated in the course have formed lasting friendships with each other, the instructor, Tom Brownlee and find the course to be very rewarding. Please contact the Anthrozoology Department, at (406) 447-4329 for more information.

Yellow Ribbon Institution
*Carroll College is honored to be a Yellow Ribbon Institution and 2013 Military Friendly School!*
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay up to $18,077.50 for your tuition and fees. If you qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill at 100%, you will qualify for the Yellow Ribbon agreement. Carroll will then contribute up to 50% of the remaining tuition and fee expenses, and the Department of Veterans Affairs will match that amount. This means your entire tuition and fees may be paid for at Carroll! The Department of Veterans Affairs will also pay you a monthly housing allowance up to $987.00 a month and up to $1,000 stipend for books & supplies.
