AIU recognizes the sacrifices that servicemembers make. This is why we focus on the unique needs of active duty, Reserve, and National Guard students - as well as veterans, military spouses, and families.

Reduced Tuition

We believe that our military servicemembers should have affordable access to quality post-secondary education.

In addition to the financial aid available for those who qualify, we’ve established four grants specifically for active-duty military members, veterans and their families.
