Kaplan University Announces Tuition Benefits for Military Spouses
Davenport, IA — Kaplan University announced the launch of a 10 percent tuition discount for military spouses, on the same day that President Bush called for Congress to allow service members to transfer unused G.I. Bill education benefits to their spouses and children. Kaplan, a leading provider of online higher education, offers more than 100 academic programs that can be completed from anywhere in the world.
"At Kaplan University, we recognize the sacrifices that military personnel and their families make for their country and don't want them to feel like they have to sacrifice their education as well," Andrew S. Rosen, CEO and President of Kaplan University. "While military families can't predict when they will get permanent change of station orders, one thing that can remain constant is their college education. Kaplan offers military spouses the flexibility of earning a degree online that will help them enter a new career or advance in their current career regardless of where the military takes them."
Kaplan University already offers a 15 percent tuition discount to all active military personnel, who are able to earn their degrees online from stateside bases or during overseas deployments. Kaplan has a dedicated military admissions team that understands the issues facing active duty military personnel and their families, and is prepared to help them meet their educational goals.
The military spouse tuition discount will be available as of Wednesday, Jan. 30. For more information, visit www.militaryspouses.kaplan.edu.
