Purple Star Campus
We are proud to be designated as a Florida Collegiate Purple Star Campus, recognizing our commitment to providing exceptional support for military-connected students and their families at USF St. Petersburg.
As a Purple Star Campus, we offer:
- Priority course registration for student veterans and dependents
- A dedicated military liaison to assist with benefits, resources, and academic support
- Specialized resources tailored to the needs of military students and their families
- Student-led transition programs to ease the move from military to academic life
- Professional development and training opportunities to prepare students for success beyond the classroom
- A wheelchair-accessible golf cart service to help veterans and their families navigate campus comfortably and safely
- Veteran Coffee Bar – Proudly sponsored by Concierge Financial, our Veteran Coffee Bar is stocked with free coffee, drinks, and snacks, available anytime for you to relax, recharge, and connect.
Coming soon: A new Veterans Center on the St. Petersburg campus. USF has been awarded $10 million in state funding—$6 million of which is dedicated to building a state- of-the-art facility in St. Pete that will expand services and provide a permanent space for our military-connected students to learn, connect, and thrive.
