Veterans Educational Benefits
Manatee Technical College is certified by the Florida State Approving Agency for Veterans Educational Benefits. Veterans may apply for educational benefits online at https://benefits.va.gov/gibill/. Veterans are also encouraged to complete a FAFSA to determine qualification for additional funds. Manatee Tech does not take part in student loans, so anything you qualify for would not have to be repaid if you complete your program.
