The North Georgia Veterans Success Center opened Wednesday at North Georgia College & State University.

The center’s mission is to be a place where veterans and their families can receive more information on veterans’ educational benefits.

Jill Pierce Rayner, financial aid director for North Georgia College & State University, said in an e-mail she hopes the center will become a place where the school can also promote career services, tutoring assistance and disability services which benefit veterans.

"We started the center at NGCSU because we wanted a place where the veterans felt comfortable in asking questions," she said. "We wanted a place were they could complete the paperwork for the Montgomery GI Bill, a place where they can find assistance or directions to other services such as tuition assistance."
