American InterContinental University (AIU®) is proud to announce
that it once again has been recognized for its service and
dedication to military students. The University recently was
honored as one of Victory Media’s 2016 Military Friendly® Schools
for the seventh year in a row and named a Top School in the 2016
Military Advanced Education’s (MAE) Guide to Colleges and
Universities for the ninth year in a row.
“AIU has long been committed to delivering the opportunity of
higher education to those who serve our country,” said Dr. George
Miller, President of AIU. “We are honored to serve military
students, veterans and their families throughout their educational
journey with flexible, quality programs that support their unique
needs.”
The Military Friendly® schools designation is awarded to those
higher education institutions that demonstrate leading practices in
attracting and supporting post-military students. Participants are
evaluated in areas including academic credibility, support,
flexibility, tuition assistance and more. Similarly, MAE’s Top
School designation recognizes universities for their achievement in
military culture, financial aid, flexibility, and support services,
including online support.
A Strong Foundation of Support for Servicemembers and
Families
AIU’s support for military students, veterans and their families
spans the educational experience, with a wide range of initiatives
including:
- Dedicated Military Admissions and
Financial Aid Advisors: In addition to a dedicated military
admissions team to serve active duty and veteran students, AIU’s
military financial aid advisors are trained specifically in
military tuition assistance, MyCAA, and VA education benefits to
support active duty and military students as well as their spouses
and dependents.
- Tuition Discounts and Grants:
Active military undergraduate students, including members of the
Reserves and National Guard, can receive a 45% tuition grant at AIU
Online. Active military graduate students and members of the
Reserves and National Guard can receive a 20% tuition grant. AIU
also awards grants equal to up to 10% of the cost of tuition for
eligible military and veteran spouses.
- Transfer Credit Options: Seven
out of 10 AIU military students received transfer credit for
previous college, work and/or military experience. Students’
military training and experience are evaluated per ACE (American
Council on Education) recommendations, and AIU’s prior learning
assessment team also reviews each student's prior college credit,
CLEP and DANTES exam scores as well as any certifications they may
already hold to determine which program criteria may have already
been met.
- Military-friendly Policies:
AIU’s deployment hold policy allows students to put their education
on hold for the length of their deployment and return when it
ends.
- Flexible Schedules and 24/7 Online
Classes: The ability to access classes anytime, anywhere
Internet access is available is ideal for military students who are
traveling, relocating or deployed overseas.
