Military Families United Partners with The Art Institutes to Provide Scholarships to Spouses of All Armed Forces Members

 (WASHINGTON, D.C. February 3, 2012) – Military Families United, a national coalition of Gold Star and Blue Star families, veterans and patriotic Americans, is proud to announce it is joining forces with The Art Institutes to provide educational support to the spouses of the men and women who wear the nation’s uniform.

The Art Institutes will offer four scholarships at $25,000 each (equaling $100,000 total) per year to spouses of Armed Forces members, including active duty, active National Guard and Reserve, and surviving spouses of those killed in the line of duty post 9/11. This combined effort with Military Families United forges greater awareness of the service our men and women in uniform and their spouses unselfishly render for us all.

“We are excited about this new opportunity because The Art Institutes is a leader in delivering online and on ground educational opportunities to students and they believe, as we do, that providing high quality educational opportunities to members of our Armed Forces and their families ensures a better future for our country,” said Robert Jackson, Executive Director of Military Families United.

The Art Institutes schools have a proud tradition and strong record of serving our nation’s veterans and their families and, like Military Families United, The Art Institutes shares a deep gratitude to the men and women who keep America safe.
