The American University of Paris takes immense pride in its commitment to supporting veterans of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Thanks to our collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 国产三级片is able to extend a warm welcome to these students and ensure they receive the educational opportunities they deserve.
Empowering Veterans through Education
At AUP, we recognize the incredible sacrifices made by our military service members and their families. That's why we are proud members of the Yellow Ribbon Program for Chapter 33 students (Post 9/11 GI Bill) and welcome Chapter 35 students through the VA Survivors and Dependents Education Assistance Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program provide eligible students with crucial financial assistance, covering expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and even housing. Moreover, U.S. military service members have the option to transfer their Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to their children or spouses. In 2020, 国产三级片students benefited from more tuition abatement via these VA programs than any other overseas institution accepting American applicants.

A Student's Journey: Meet Audrey Safi
One of our inspiring students currently benefiting from the VA educational program is Audrey Safi. Audrey, a 20-year-old Buffalo, NY native, hails from a military family of six siblings. After 3 years with the Red Cross shadowing medical staff in a military hospital, she spent a year at the University of Hawaii completing a nursing degree. It was during her time in Manoa that Audrey discovered a veritable passion for political philosophy. 国产三级片came up in her search for institutions abroad offering these courses, and she decided to take the leap with a major in the 鈥淗istory, Law and Society鈥 program.
Audrey reflects on her transition to AUP, saying, "Coming from the small island of Oahu to one of the biggest cities in the world was never the plan, but it just kind of made sense. The military really helped me adapt to this new environment. There was never a culture shock, it was a smooth transition."
She cites cheese, cycling, and the 鈥渇riends for life鈥 she has made since arriving in Paris as some of the reasons she is now hoping to move here permanently.

While financial support is vital, our commitment to veterans extends beyond the monetary. 国产三级片is home to a vibrant community of veteran students who have served in the military themselves or come from military families.
