special tuition deals offered to veterans?

In the low cost MBA thread Joel66 said:

Has anybody come across these special tuition deals offered to veterans by RA schools in either undergraduate or graduate programs? Let's assume GI Bill and military tuition assistance is not an option.

 

These are the schools I have been looking at that offer discounts for veterans for MBA.

Brenau University $245.00 per unit

Liberty University $250.00 per unit (undegraduates also get book voucher from 100-400 per semester)

Chancellor University $250 per unit and $800 free book voucher per academic year.

Grand Canyon University $350.00 per unit (It only list Active Duty/Reserve, but the school mentioned the reduced rate would apply to veterans.

NorthCentral University $450.00 per unit (It doesn't list it on their page, but the Asst. Director emailed me a word doc that shows 310.00 for Bachelor's, 450.00 for Master's, 320.00 for MEd, and 450 for Doctoral)

 

They don't offer veteran discounts, but AMU/APU are $250/unit and provide free books for all undergrads:
