All military-affiliated students and their families can now receive in-state tuition to Austin Peay University after their board of trustees approved the change in a meeting on Friday, June 7.
It applies to active-duty military personnel, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and their eligible family members in the U.S. and overseas.
The University has over 27% of its students in connection with the military in some form, according to their press release. They have Tennessee's largest military student center — Newton Military Family Resource Center.
Military students have access to the Institute for National Security and Military Studies, including educational programs, military outreach activities and interdisciplinary research on national security, intelligence and military life. There's a new Military and Veterans Affairs Division that has other benefits as well. You can find all this information on their website.
There will also be an increase of 4% for undergraduate and graduate tuition, which Austin Peay plans to introduce more scholarships to balance out.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
