Artist Neil J Arms, from Penrith, will donate the painting, which was created in honour of the NHS fundraiser's 100th birthday, to the college on May 19 in Harrogate.
Announcing the donation on Facebook, Mr Arms said: "I'm extremely proud and honoured to reveal that my painting of Tom has a new home.
"As you may know, to celebrate his 100th birthday, HM The Queen promoted Captain Tom Moore to an honorary Colonel of Harrogate Military College. It's this college where the painting is going!"
"The Commanding Officer of the college has requested to personally take delivery of the painting as he believes the piece deserves that level of respect," Mr Arms said.
"I'm totally overwhelmed with pride as I write this."
A NHS fundraiser started by Captain Tom reached more than STG30 million ($A58 million) on Thursday as he celebrated his 100th birthday.
He was appointed as an honorary colonel on his birthday, while a Battle of Britain memorial flight flypast of a Spitfire and a Hurricane was organised by the RAF to mark his efforts.
