Scholarship program provides active-duty
service members, their families and veterans with education
opportunities this Memorial Day
University of Phoenix and AMVETS, a vocal advocate for veterans’
education, are committed to helping America’s military stand out
among job seekers in today’s competitive employment landscape and
pursue their civilian career. To reinforce that commitment, the
University and AMVETS are awarding 20 full-tuition scholarships to
active-duty service members, eligible family members and veterans
to pursue an undergraduate or master’s degree from University of
Phoenix. AMVETS has teamed with University of Phoenix since 2007,
offering 345 scholarships in appreciation of the sacrifice these
individuals make for the country and to assist them in
transitioning from the military to the civilian sector.
"We must do all we can to help all veterans, particularly our
post-9/11 veterans, attain their educational goals as they strive
to make a successful reintegration back into the civilian world,”
said AMVETS National Commander Larry Via. “We are so very grateful
for our long standing education partnership with University of
Phoenix, and extremely proud to announce the new scholarships
available. This commitment will truly change the lives of those
selected.”
“We all have a responsibility to the servicemen and women who
have and continue to protect our freedoms, including helping them
prepare for careers as they transition from military to civilian
life,” said University of Phoenix Military Relations Vice President
retired Army Col. Garland Williams. “University of Phoenix and
AMVETS share a common mission in providing America’s active-duty
service members, their families and veterans access to the
education they need to enhance their professional skills and pursue
their career goals.”
