Academic Explorer Suite posters are now available for you to download and print!! We have developed posters for any interested party to be able to use to let our Marines and Family Members know about the suite of tools available to them. If you have access to a large-format color printer (poster size), you can download this file (24" x 36"). If you have a letter-size color printer, you can download and print this file (8.5" x 11"). We trust that you will find these posters helpful in spreading the word about Academic Explorer (AeX), Scholarship and Financial Aid Explorer (SFeX), and Job Explorer (JeX).
