Admission for Veterans

If you are now serving, or have ever served, in the U.S. military, or if you are a military-connected family member pursuing Veterans Affairs educational benefits, you are a Veteran student. We are grateful for your military service and the personal sacrifices that have accompanied it. Pellissippi State is a certified veterans friendly campus through the state of Tennessee’s Veterans Education Transition Support Act, and we have Veterans Services to help you with any questions you have about college.
