Florida State University provides initiatives that foster a community of past, present and future veterans, raises awareness of veterans issues among campus and local communities, and supports student veterans through graduation and into rewarding careers and graduate-education programs.
Florida State University Panama City is committed to supporting our student veterans and military dependent students by assisting them in their request for certification of VA educational benefits, earned through their service and sacrifice to our country.
At FSU Panama City, our VA certification process has been centralized through the FSU Student Veterans Center in Tallahassee to ensure compliance and that services are in keeping with our commitment to the needs of our student veterans and military dependents. The request for benefits form must be completed and submitted each semester you are enrolled at FSU.
Request benefits
Active-military students, student veterans and dependents using federal benefits are eligible for priority registration, which allows these students to register for future semester courses during the first selection window of each course-registration cycle.
Veterans Ready Room
The James and Cameron Skinner Ready Room for Veterans is a dedicated space for studying, small group meetings or decompressing and socializing with fellow veteran students between classes.
