American College of Healthcare Sciences offers Imagine America Military Award Program and Adult Skills Education Program Scholarships

Portland, OR, October 20, 2012 --(PR.com)-- American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) has partnered with Imagine America as a participating institution in the national Imagine America sponsored Military Award Program (MAP) and Adult Skills Education Program (ASEP) scholarship programs. The ACHS MAP scholarship offers veterans with expired military benefits and spouses of active duty servicemembers a one-time scholarship of $1,000 toward tuition. The ACHS ASEP scholarship offers this same opportunity to students age 19 and up.

“By offering financial assistance to veterans whom have exhausted military education benefits, the MAP scholarship can make a difference for a servicemember continuing his/her education with online, accredited holistic health, herbal and aromatherapy programs,” says ACHS President Dorene Petersen. “It is gratifying to offer this same scholarship opportunity to adult students pursuing their career-training goals,” adds Petersen.

ACHS Imagine America scholarship applicants must enroll in a minimum of six credit hours and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
