I am a Veteran

Veterans rejoining society as a civilian encounter many obstacles but pursuing higher education shouldn’t be one of them. PTK wants to help translate your military skillsets into meaningful experiences to flex your leadership and quick-thinking skills to earn scholarships. PTK offers nearly $1 million in scholarships through our Foundation, and with the help of partners like the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, there are scholarships allocated exclusively for Veterans and those currently serving in the military that compliment your GI Bill.
