Blue Ribbon Grant

The Blue Ribbon Grant at American National University-Pikeville supports military personnel and their families. This program is designed for veterans, active-duty service members, spouses, and dependents who qualify under Chapters 30, 31, 33, 35, 1606, Military Tuition Assistance, or the State National Guard. Individuals receiving MYCAA benefits are excluded from this opportunity.

The grant helps cover direct educational costs once military education benefits are exhausted or expired. Eligible students can receive up to 35% of direct educational costs, up to a maximum of $18,000. These funds can be used for tuition and fees in any academic program or transferred to a spouse or qualified dependent under age 30.

To apply, students should contact the campus financial aid office. While this specific institutional grant is coordinated directly through university staff, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to identify other state or federal aid options. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
