Everyone here at Essential Knowledge takes great pride in the success of service members and military spouses who we assist with pursuing their higher education. Below are some kind words we’ve received from members of the military community we’ve had the pleasure of helping.
*One quick explanation: you’ll notice that in many of the testimonials the text “[an Essential Knowledge matched school]” is used in place of specific school names. Our #1 priority is helping service members and military spouses find an accredited, military-friendly college or university that meet their needs through our Military School Matching Service – not advertising for any college or university. We are committed to this model throughout every part of our process, which is why we’ve blanked out the names of the schools some of our customers have chosen to attend. Click here to learn more about our unique matching service and the schools included.
I’m currently enrolled at [an Essential Knowledge matched school] pursuing my MBA in business management and leadership. I’m three weeks in and very happy with the program. The representatives have been outstanding and very friendly. The reps from each of the schools that contacted me were very professional, friendly, and answered all my questions. I chose this school because I felt they were the most best option for me and had everything I wanted as far as price, flexibility, military advisors – and they have a sports program (even if they are terrible at football, at least I can buy their gear and root for them)! Overall, I’m very happy with the process and want to say thank you for helping this lieutenant get off his butt and started on his master’s degree.

I don’t know if it was fate or just the fact it was something I was starting to look into…but I was going to go talk with our education people about getting back into school last UTA weekend. The presentation was very easy and simple to understand and after filling out the paperwork I did have three schools contact me the following week. I have since been working with someone from [an Essential Knowledge matched school] and am now in the process of getting started with them. The person I have been working with has really been helpful. So hopefully I’m going to start school with them in mid-April, if all goes well. Thanks for all your help and coming to give us the information that you did.

Thanks so much for your presentation. I heard from both schools – I chose [an Essential Knowledge matched school], and will be starting in April. One of our other soldiers will be starting there as well. The counselor assigned to me was wonderful. We identified the best degree selection, and she coached me through the tuition assistance process. It helped immensely knowing she happened to be an Army Reserve soldier as well. The process was almost too easy…my only regret now is that I wasn’t aware of your company/services earlier. We need to get the word out! Thanks again.

I want to thank you for your service to your country by helping us soldiers. So many of the programs the military has don’t even come near the quality of service that you provide. I have received responses from all the schools and am seriously talking to [an Essential Knowledge matched school]. I have many more credits than I knew and am going to have my degree in eight classes! My conversations were enlightening, and I am looking forward to getting started. Again, thanks for your help and time.

I was contacted by [an Essential Knowledge matched school]. We discussed my options on obtaining my graduate degree, and I have a follow-up call with them after the holidays. I plan on following through and enrolling with this school instead of other colleges that I had researched on my own, due to their willingness to help, and military-friendly coursework and policies. The Essential Knowledge process will be the direct reason for obtaining my graduate degree. You and the entire process were very helpful and informative, and I thank you.

I have heard from both [Essential Knowledge matched schools]. My conversations with the admissions counselor from both schools has been great. I am currently in the enrollment process actually.

The information was very helpful, and all I have to do is decide on which school I would like to attend. I think the service y’all offer is great, because it takes what the service member puts down and narrows the schools down to ones that are good for that individual. Thanks again for the help.

Your representative was great…he was a stand-up guy, and gets an A+ from me. Thank you guys for this. I was already thinking about pursing my bachelor’s while I’m deployed, but I wasn’t sure where to start until your rep spoke at drill and explained your service. Thank you for helping me figure it all out.

I think your representative was excellent. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and his briefing resulted in prompting three soldiers to continue education and use the benefits available to them. Two more soldiers have begun the process of transferring benefits to family. It is easy to tell that he is passionate about education and what he does as an instructor. What a fantastic opportunity for our soldiers to grow and learn. I hope to make this an annual event. Thank you so much for your support and services.

If I meet anyone who is current or previously in the military, I would 100% refer them to you and Essential Knowledge’s service. It was very professional, polite and very quick.

I think you have done a great job matching me with a school. I am starting at [an Essential Knowledge matched school] at the beginning of the year. The school itself was very helpful in helping me get everything I need and to get credit for my military service, cutting my two-year degree down to about 10 months instead of two years. Thank you for your hard work.

I have heard from two [Essential Knowledge matched schools]. My conversations with the school representatives who I talked to were pleasant and very informative. Of the two schools that I talked to both should meet my needs. I am projecting a start date of approximately June of this year when I demobilize from my current assignment. Thank you for your assistance, and I will be in touch with you soon on this.

Both of the schools have already contacted me. They both told me about their program and provided me with additional information via e-mail.

I really enjoyed your visit and I did apply to [an Essential Knowledge matched school]. I plan to attend this spring for my master’s degree in management and leadership.

One thing that inspired us with your visit is your story and how you overcame your challenges.
