America’s armed forces, you know that constructive educational planning leads to success! Maybe you are preparing for a military promotion, but regardless of your immediate educational goals all academic preparation will prepare one for a successful prosperous civilian life. The discipline and commitment that you have learned in the military will assist you as you are enriched in one of AmridgeUniversity’s online degree programs.

The scholarship is offered to students for courses in which they are receiving the maximum amount of Military Tuition Assistance.

The University then awards this scholarship which covers the remaining cost of the course that the service member would typically be required to pay from their funds.
A student may want to consider financial aid or Top-up benefits to supplement his or her TA. Visit the Tuition and Financial Aid information on Amridge University Web site for details.
