May 9 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and National University—a Veteran-founded, nonprofit, Military Friendly® school—is helping address a persistent issue: military spouses face an unemployment rate 5x the national average, often due to relocations and career disruptions.
This is an important and timely conversation, as military spouses are often overlooked in national workforce and education discussions—despite playing a critical role in the stability of military families.
As part of its commitment, NU launched the Whisper Military Spouse Scholarship, providing $10,000 in tuition assistance to help spouses overcome financial barriers and pursue flexible, career-focused education.
National University, a Yellow Ribbon School, is committed to supporting the families of our nation’s servicemembers and Veterans. Being a Veteran-founded institution, we believe that giving back to the military spouses who make so many sacrifices is one of the most valuable educational services we can provide. This scholarship is designed to provide you and your family with a helping hand toward a career-focused education that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Recipients of the annual Whisper Military Spouse Scholarship will receive $10,000 in tuition benefits and other financial support to pursue a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree at NU. This award may also be combined with NU’s military spouse tuition-reduction benefits (terms and conditions apply).
Connect with an advisor and we can help to ensure you take full advantage of other military benefits and scholarships at NU!
