How will participating in APUS's ATB Program impact my financial aid? While you are taking classes at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ and American Public University System at the same time, your financial aid will be processed through APUS's financial aid office. You should contact APUS's financial aid office to see what options are available to assist with your Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ and APUS courses. You are responsible for making payment arrangements for your Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ classes directly, as APUS will not send any payment to Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ on your behalf.

How will participating in APUS's ATB Program impact my VA Benefits? While you are taking classes at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ and APUS at the same time, your classes at both institutions can be submitted to the VA for payment, provided the courses are required for your bachelor’s degree program. You should contact both APUS and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥’s veterans offices to determine how to use your VA benefits for your APUS and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ classes.
