"We are proud to support entrepreneurial veterans and recognize
the educational needs of their employees and families are key to
the overall success and vitality of their businesses," said APUS
Provost Dr. Elizabeth Johnson. "We
are honored to help prepare these underserved populations for their
next chapter."
The Alliance Grant can be used for any of AMU's numerous
programs at the undergraduate and master's levels. The program is
ongoing validation of AMU's strong commitment to veterans and those
currently serving in the armed forces.
Veterans make up a significant portion of business owners –
including small businesses. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, veteran-owned businesses represent 5.9% of all companies in
the United States. This translates
to more than 335,000 veterans who own businesses, and they employ
close to 3.9 million employees.
Since it was founded 32 years ago by a visionary retired U.S.
Marine Corps Officer, AMU has focused on providing affordable,
quality higher education to veterans and active-duty military.
AMU has a dedicated student services team that helps throughout
the entire educational journey. The team provides support with
admissions, career services, financial aid, and helps students
access the University's range of resources.
AMU is proud to continue its legacy of serving the brave, and
supporting these business owners, their employees, and families
exemplifies this ongoing commitment.
