Office of Veteran Success at the Military and Veterans Success Center

At the USF St. Petersburg campus, we are dedicated to providing our military, student veterans, and military families with the support needed to excel academically and professionally.

Find Your Community

That’s why we created the Military and Veterans Success Center on our campus. It's a place of community where you can connect with others who have shared experiences. You can also access important educational resources for your success. Learn more about the benefits that are offered as a result of being designated as a Florida Collegiate Purple Star Campus,
