Our Mission Is Making College Affordable
No wonder we've had so many Armed Forces graduates.
At APU, we believe in educating, inspiring and making dreams come true for the many, not just the few. That’s why we support you in navigating tuition assistance so you can maximize your benefits. We want to make your transition from military base to virtual classroom as seamless and affordable as possible. This is one small way we can thank you for your service.
