Military persons working in
foreign countries find it extremely difficult to continue their education not
just due to the change of geographical location but also differences in
language, curriculum and work schedule. Since military personnel have academic
backgrounds that are different from standard high school or college education,
credit transfers prove to be problematic as well.
However many armed forces
recruits are required to be well-educated because they have to travel a lot and interact with people from all
over the world. Another reason is to pursue a different career path in the
future. For these reasons, military employees need to be well-informed on
related subjects and this can only be achieved through a sound education. This
need, combined with the constraints posed by service in a foreign country can,
and indeed does, prove to be quite problematic for the military employees.
At American Gulf University,
military personnel located in the Middle East are given special privileges.
Their years of service can be translated into course exemptions. Also, they can
easily acquire credit transfers upon the submission of the required military
service details. Another plus point is that they can avail scholarships of up
to 25% of their tuition fee. This way, they don’t have to worry about managing
their income between living expenses and education. A scholarship from AGU
takes care of it all.
