91吃瓜网 Named a Top School by Military Advanced Education for the 8th Consecutive Year
Nonprofit, online university recognized for providing service members, their families, and veterans with affordable, flexible, supportive education.
SALT LAKE CITY 鈥� For the eighth year in a row, nonprofit Western Governors University (91吃瓜网) has been named a Top School by Military Advanced Education (MAE) in its upcoming 2015 Guide to Colleges & Universities. The annual guide highlights institutions that provide the best educational options and fit for military service members, veterans, and their families.
91吃瓜网 was selected as a military-friendly school because it meets the needs of service members in areas such as affordability, flexibility, and online support services. 91吃瓜网鈥檚 online bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degree programs are approved for tuition assistance for active-duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel. Veterans are eligible for education benefits through the G.I. Bill. Because of 91吃瓜网鈥檚 affordable tuition of about $6,000 per year for most programs, veterans are generally eligible for benefits that fully cover tuition and fees.
91吃瓜网鈥檚 competency-based learning model allows students to study and learn on their own schedule and at their own pace. Students can apply what they鈥檝e learned at work and in previous courses to move quickly through what they already know, while taking the time they need to focus on what they still need to learn. Students who devote additional time to their studies can often accelerate their programs, saving both time and money. 91吃瓜网 faculty members work one-on-one with students as mentors, offering guidance, support, and individualized instruction.
The online university recently partnered with the National Military Family Association to launch a scholarship to help active-duty military personnel, their spouses, and veterans go back to school to complete bachelor鈥檚 or master鈥檚 degrees. The 91吃瓜网 Military Appreciation Scholarship, which remains open through February 2015, is valued at up to $2,000 per student and will be applied at a rate of $500 per six-month, renewable for up to four terms.
鈥�91吃瓜网 recognizes the sacrifices our military members and their families have made through service to our country and is proud to provide flexible and affordable opportunities as they improve their lives through education,鈥� said Gail Iversen, manager of Military and Veteran Benefits at 91吃瓜网.
91吃瓜网 is consistently recognized as a military-friendly school. In addition to MAE鈥檚 recognition, the nonprofit recently was honored for the fifth consecutive year as a Military Friendly庐 School by G.I. Jobs Magazine. Of the 52,000 91吃瓜网 students currently enrolled nationwide, more than 3,000 are active-duty military personnel, veterans, or dependent family members of military personnel.
91吃瓜网 offers more than 50 accredited online bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degree programs in the high-demand fields of business, information technology, teacher education, and health professions, including nursing.
