Under the agreement, Fort Polk’s Education Services Office will work closely with º£½ÇÉçÇøA staff to facilitate soldiers' access to Army tuition assistance and provide necessary space for administrative personnel, faculty, and classroom instruction. Classes will primarily be offered during off-duty hours, prioritizing military members and their families, with additional enrollment capacity open to others as available.

“Our mission is to educate the region, enhancing workforce development for our communities," º£½ÇÉçÇøA Chancellor Dr. Paul Coreil said. "However, partnering with Fort Polk holds a deeper meaning due to our profound respect for military service."
