Since 2008, UTampa's military population has increased from 36 students to over 400, with military represented in all four UTampa colleges and nearly all degree programs. Each military student's unique experience adds to the culture of our community.

Veterans and military-affiliated family members are a dynamic group that brings a unique experience and intellectual diversity to UTampa. We look forward to not only assisting you with all your VA-related questions throughout your time here at UTampa but also helping you to achieve your goals.

For consecutive years, UTampa has been deemed a  Military Friendly® School. U.S. News and World Report included the University of Tampa in its list of "Best Colleges for Veterans" of Regional Universities South. These schools offer benefits that can make pursuing a college education more affordable for veterans and active-duty service members. These include schools being certified for the GI Bill® and schools that participate in the Yellow Ribbon program.

By helping you navigate the complexities of your valuable educational benefit, we try to ensure that you have the best of experiences. UTampa understands how essential this benefit is during your educational journey in post-military life, and the resources we offer to our veterans are first-class. 

To all of our veteran students – current, new and prospective – we thank you and your family for your service to our country.
