Veterans & Military

Veterans & Military Tuition Assistance

Park Place has the authority to certify veterans to receive educational benefits to qualified veterans and their dependents under the provision of Title 38 USC 3675. Veterans and their dependents should obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from their local Veterans Affairs Office or their Military Unit. The Certificate of Eligibility form should be presented to the school’s administrative office.

Veterans are required by the Veterans Affairs Office to carry a minimum twenty-two (22) hours per week to receive full subsistence and must conform to the same grading system at the school as non-veteran students. Those veterans who are eligible for benefits under the legislation must comply with and meet the standards as set forth by Park Place regarding attendance, conduct, withdrawal, and suspension.

Park Place is a participant of Chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, 35; Post 9/11 GI Bill; Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty; Vocational Rehabilitation; and Veteran’s Innovation Program.
