Our Mission Is Making College Affordable
No wonder we've had so many Armed Forces graduates.
At AMU, we believe in educating, inspiring and making dreams come true for the many, not just the few. That’s why we offer financial assistance and everything else to make your transition from military base to virtual campus as seamless and affordable as possible. Just one small way we can thank you for your service.

Air Force Portal
The Air Force utilizes the online system for requesting Air Force tuition assistance through the use of the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC). You will apply for tuition assistance through the portal and it will be sent electronically to APUS for processing. TA must be requested at least one week prior to desired start date. Because bottom line: you’ve handled high altitudes in the Air Force, but you shouldn’t have to handle high tuition in college.
