Military-Affiliated Admissions
We understand that service members face unique life circumstances like reassignment and deployment. That's why we offer numerous courses and entire programs online, along with generous aid packages like out-of-state fee waivers for all military-affiliated students. Military-affiliated students consist of active-duty military, veterans, reservists, National Guard members, ROTC cadets, retirees and active military families.
Reduced Tuition For All Military-Affiliated Soldiers
APSU offers in-state tuition to all of the nation's military-affiliated students, which includes active-duty military personnel, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and their eligible family members. We have also waived application fees and reduced the cost of courses to $250 per credit hour for uniformed military students.
In order to receive additional tuition assistance, all active duty Army, National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers can select their degree path through ArmyIgnitEd after completing their APSU application.
