As a member of the military and veteran community, you have needs that go beyond continuing your education. That’s why we believe it is important that you are aware of all benefits available to you. Academy of Art University is approved for Military Tuition Assistance and Veterans GI Bill® benefits. Our Military Scholarship may be provided to U.S. service members (Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Coast Guard) as an opportunity to start preparing for a career in art and design. You’ll have help every step of the way.

Veterans Resource Center

Academy of Art University recognizes the noble men and women who serve our country. That is why to serve them back in return, we provide opportunities for them to pursue creative entrepreneurship outside of the military that will benefit them and their families. The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is just one of the ways the Academy provides support for our military students. In here, they can enjoy a welcoming space that feels like a home away from home, while at the same time being in a community of individuals who share the same background.

The VRC is located at 79 New Montgomery St., Room 316, San Francisco, CA 94105 with the following hours of operation (Pacific Time):

  • Monday: 9am – 6pm
  • Tuesday, Wednesday: 8am – 6pm
  • Thursday: 8am – 8pm
  • Friday: 9am – 6pm

Chat with Chrystal Beamon, Student Services Coordinator, on-site Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8am – 4:30pm Pacific Time. You may also reach out via email at VRC@academyart.edu or phone at (415) 618-3940
