Veteran Assistance for Law School

Since 1996 ALU has provided online degree programs for working adults around the world. ALU has extended online learning to the military and encourages you to take time to talk to one of our military Admissions Representatives regarding how ALU can assist you with your career or personal educational goals.

The Abraham Lincoln University faculty and staff offer our sincere appreciation to the veterans and current service members who have selflessly and courageously served honorably in the United States military. You have earned education benefits for your service and sacrifices that veteran assistance may be applied to earn your Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree.

Abraham Lincoln University is approved through the California State Approving Agency for Veterans Education (CSAAVE) to train veterans and eligible persons. Veterans who are eligible for VA Educational Assistance Benefits to Veterans (G.I. Bill) may use those benefits to enroll in ALU’s School of Law Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree program.
