CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., Oct. 5,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- American Public University
System (APUS), which offers over 200 online degree and
certificate programs through American Military
University (AMU) and American Public
University (APU), has been named the most popular university
nationwide for veterans using their GI Bill benefit, according to
Military Times as measured by student enrollment. The number one
ranking, which highlights the value that APUS' affordable and
flexible education model delivers to students, is based on data
from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for fiscal year 2019
(the most recent year for which data is available).
Veterans can learn more on how to use the GI bill and other VA
benefits to attend APUS:

APUS serves 17,648 GI Bill students, nearly 4,300 more than the
next most popular university, according to VA data. Additionally,
due to APUS's affordable tuition, the GI Bill usage amount for each
APUS student is lower than all other schools ranked in the top five
on Military Times' list. The GI Bill helps qualifying veterans and
their family members pay for college, graduate school and training
programs.
APUS Board of Trustees Chairman Alfred
M. Gray, the 29th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps said,
"We are so proud to be the leader in providing affordable,
high-quality higher education to so many veterans who have
protected our freedom. This has been our mission from the
beginning."
APUS's wide range of degree and certificate programs help
veterans gain invaluable knowledge so they can better compete and
succeed in today's fast-changing job market.
APUS, which has five retired Military Generals on its Board
of Trustees, serves active-duty military, veterans and their
families, plus non-military students with unique service-minded
online degree programs, affordable tuition, monthly class starts
and a highly dedicated faculty. A retired Marine Corps officer
founded AMU in 1991, several instructors are veterans, and the
school has a 4,000-member Student Veterans of America chapter.
APUS, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education,
Inc. (NASDAQ: APEI) has been listed repeatedly on "Best for Vets"
lists published by Military Times (48% of APUS students who started
in Q2 2020 were referred by others).
