The Academy Experience: Veterans’ Voices
We sat down with a number of our veteran and active-duty students and graduates to hear why they chose the Academy and how the school has changed their lives. The Academy has a long history of welcoming those who serve and their families. Our “No Barriers” admission policy opens the doors to anyone who believes in their artistic potential.

Why We Value Veterans
We believe artists and soldiers share the same traits: passion, dedication, discipline, and vision. The Academy was founded by Navy veterans and has always strived to give back to those who have served our country. Since its inception, the Academy has helped thousands of veterans fulfill their dreams of becoming working artists and designers. Veterans are an integral part of our student population, adding their important perspectives to all aspects of Academy life.

Military Spouses
The Academy recognizes that spouses are not only partners in life, but partners in education as well.
