On August 4, 2026, American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (the System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.
Alumni Grant
Alumni Grant
Tuition savings
Returning alumni, you could save up to $3,000 on your Associate's, Bachelor's, MSN, NP Post Graduate Certificates or Doctoral degree.
When you look back at how far you’ve come, be proud. When you look ahead to where you could go, be bold.
To empower that next step, we’re offering our alumni $500 per quarter for up to six quarters—that's up to $3,000 off tuition. Plus, credits you’ve earned could transfer directly into the next degree.
"Once you get in it, it just becomes a part of who you are. It doesn't really change too much from degree to degree... It's really just doing the same thing that you're already doing, but you’re continuing to further your education."
