Did you know that 30% of our participants each year come from referrals? We still have seats available at some of our June academic boot camps and you can help us make a difference in the lives of those who served and continue to serve our country! The best way we can describe our FREE academic boot camps is that they are the rehearsal before the mission. If you know an enlisted active-duty service member or veteran who is interested in going to college, or already attending and could use some help earning their degree, we've got them covered. Share this post with them and encourage them to start the process! There are still seats available at the following June courses: University of Notre Dame, William & Mary, Georgetown University, Williams College, and University of Virginia.

Boot camp prepared you for the military, we prepare you for college.
About us
Our mission is to empower enlisted veterans and service members and amplify their voices as civic leaders by providing them with: (1) a skill bridge that enables a successful transition to the classroom by making them informed consumers of higher education and increasing their confidence to apply to and complete rigorous degree programs at top-tier institutions, and (2) sustained support throughout their pursuit of higher education and into the civilian workforce. In partnership with the nation’s top colleges and universities, WSP hosts intensive and immersive one and two-week college-preparatory academic boot camps for enlisted veterans and transitioning service members. Boot camps are offered in three disciplines: Humanities, STEM, and Business & Entrepreneurship. Through faculty lectures, workshops and research projects, tailored assignments, and one-on-one tutoring, warrior-scholars acquire the skills to succeed in higher education and navigate the cultural shift from military service to college. Throughout the course, warrior-scholars are mentored by student veterans who have successfully transitioned from the military to college. WSP also offers workshops tailored to address the unique needs of veterans enrolled in community colleges and targeted programming for marginalized veterans, such as our Women Veterans Empowerment Dialogues. All programming is provided at no cost.
