This is mostly done by using free, online resources, and sometimes printed materials we have available. </p><p>Besides tutoring, we can offer you some excellent resources on choosing a career field and a school for that can prepare you to work in that field. We can also assist with school applications, connect you with resources to access any military education benefits you might have, and assist with financial aid and scholarship applications.  Although we're not a job placement service, we can help point you to some people that are; if you have an idea what you want to do with your life, that makes finding the right school or training easier! </p></section></div> <div id="c546077" class="frame frame-custom-101 frame-type-text frame-layout-0"><section><header><h5 class=""> Tutoring and Advising Focus Areas </h5></header><ul><li>Basic arithmetic, high school mathematics review, college algebra preparation, and even pre-calculus</li><li>English skills: composition (essay writing and grammar review), literature, reading for comprehension, and public speaking</li><li>Formatting of citations for end notes, foot notes, or bibliography section of college writing assignments.</li><li>Computer skills (researching using the internet, file sharing, using spreadsheets, word processing software, creating presentations)</li><li>Study skills (note taking, time management, skimming texts for important concepts)</li><li>Academic and career guidance</li><li>College application and enrollment assistance</li><li>Financial aid application assistance</li><li>Agency referrals to help eliminate barriers to education</li></ul></section></div> <div id="c546081" class="frame frame-custom-101 frame-type-text frame-layout-0"><section><header><h5 class=""> Eligibility Requirements </h5></header><p>To participate in VET, you must be:</p><ul><li>A veteran or currently serving military service member (Active, Guard, or Reservist) of one of the branches of the US military</li><li>A US citizen</li><li>Can not have been dishonorably discharged</li><li>Considering or already enrolled in a North Dakota college, university, or technical training program (not necessarily a North Dakota resident)</li><li>Have a desire to improve your academic skills</li><li>Be willing to take constructive feedback, and open to advice</li></ul><p>Dependents of veterans or currently serving members are not eligible for VET, but <strong>many of the resources we link to on this page are free and open to anyone</strong>, so please use whatever tools that would be helpful to you!</p></section></div> <div id="c546181" class="frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-layout-0"><section><p><a href="/fileadmin/vet/FAQs___Responses-Gunning_Fog_Revised.pdf" title="Download file" target="_blank"><img src="/fileadmin/vet/Website_Button_FAQs.jpg" width="590" height="130"></a></p></section></div> <div id="c546199" class="frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-layout-0"><section><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/VeteransEducationalTraining" title="V E T Facebook page" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img src="/fileadmin/vet/facebook-logo-mini.png" width="35" height="35"></a></p></section></div> </div> </main> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="footer-dept footer-left"> <div class="container"> <section class="footer-address"> <div class="address"> <p><strong>NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY<br> Veterans Educational Training</strong><br> Phone: +1 (701) 231-9706<br> Campus address: <a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/alphaindex/buildings/Building::382" target="_top">Morrill Hall 112</a><br> Physical/delivery address: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=1230+Albrecht+Boulevard,+Fargo,+ND+58102" target="_top">1230 Albrecht Blvd, Fargo, ND 58102</a><br> Mailing address: NDSU Dept. 2839 / P.O.
