Friends University appreciates and honors the service and sacrifice of our nation’s military service members. In an effort to show its appreciation, the University is offering several programs and services to accommodate the specific needs of veterans.
Effective immediately, the University is offering a 10 percent discount on tuition for all retired and honorably discharged veterans. Additionally, Friends University programs are approved for Veterans Education Benefits, which can also help finance veterans’ educational goals.
Veterans who apply to Friends University have their application fee waived; they are eligible for four academic credits for any DD214 showing honorable discharge; and could qualify for additional credits for military training through the Prior Learning Assessment program.
Other military benefits for veterans include:
- DSST/DANTES test scores are evaluated and the University posts any credits as transfer work.
- Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcripts are evaluated and credits are applied toward a bachelor’s degree.
- The Department of Defense (DOD) Tuition Assistance (TA) program is accepted so active duty, guard and reserve members can use TA funds to pay for tuition at Friends.
Friends University was recently designated as a 2015 Military Friendly School by Victory Media. The designation is awarded to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that embrace military students and dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.
