To assist veterans interested in earning a top quality degree from a regionally accredited, not-for-profit university, Florida Tech works with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to accept veterans benefits from all six GI Bill® programs, including the Post 9/11 GI Bill®. Florida Tech is also a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
