Our Veterans Report on Polk State Includes:
Polk State College was not ranked on the <nil> [Best Schools for Veterans list[(/rankings/veterans). This could be due to a number of reasons, including insufficent data.
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience.
According to the VA, there are 337 GI Bill® students at Polk State. There are 9,961 students enrolled at Polk State. This means that approximately 3.38% use the GI Bill® to help pay for tuition, fees, and other expenses. Putting that into perspective, the Student Veterans of America estimates that about three-four percent of all college students in America are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). This does not include active-duty military personnel who are attending the college via Tuition Assistance. Therefore, the potential total military population could be larger than this.
