We Salute You, Too
Military families face unique challenges. Military spouses and legal partners juggle work and family life, PCS relocations, and the other unpredictable circumstances that come with the military lifestyle. Meanwhile parents, siblings, and dependents know that service to country brings with it uncertainty related to moves and deployments of their servicemember. That is why we are committed to making sure that all military family members have access to flexible and affordable education.
To honor the service of your loved one, AMU created a military tuition grant for U.S. active-duty, National Guard, and Reservist families, including parents, spouses, legal partners, siblings, and dependents. The grant covers undergraduate and master’s-level tuition above the military TA cap of $250/credit hour.
Military spouses can also take advantage of the My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) program as well as other scholarships. Fulfill your goals by enrolling at a university that supports your grit and dedication.
"The demands of a working parent can be challenging, however, through APU I successfully balanced my family life and professional responsibilities while still managing the enriching challenges of my graduate studies."
