Welcome to Service to School!

About us

Service to School (S2S) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides free college and grad school application counseling to military veterans and service members.

Our goal is to help veterans gain admission to the best college for them while empowering each veteran to make informed decisions about their education.

Our Story

In 2011, S2S was founded by Gus Giacoman, Tim Hsia, Khalil Tawil, and Anna Ivey — three veterans and an admissions expert who believe that all veterans should have the opportunity and access to a great education. Through grassroots efforts and thousands of hours of volunteer time, S2S grew into a national non-profit that connects military veterans and service members with mentors to ensure veterans are being admitted to and attending our nation’s best colleges and graduate schools.

Since then, we have stayed laser-focused on our mission of supporting veterans into higher-ed and have worked with thousands of veterans during different points of the college and graduate school application process. You can find S2S Alums on hundreds of Undergraduate, MBA, Law School, Policy, and Medical School campuses where they are studying and forging new paths for their future.
