The Altivum Foundation
Veteran scholarships in AI, Cloud, Robotics & Cybersecurity.
The Altivum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 41-4163272) founded by Christian Perez that funds U.S. military veterans pursuing education in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity. Scholarships cover the full cost of certifications, degrees, and bootcamps at no cost to the scholar, and every contribution is tax-deductible.
Our Vision
What is the Altivum Foundation's vision?
The men and women who served this country bring discipline, adaptability, and leadership forged under pressure. The industries shaping the next century — cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity — need exactly those qualities. The Altivum Foundation exists to connect the two.

Eligible Paths
What fields does the Foundation fund?
Four fields. Each rewards exactly the skills veterans already have.
01
Why Cloud Computing?
Infrastructure and certification paths across AWS, Azure, and GCP — the operational backbone of the modern economy.
02
Why Artificial Intelligence?
Machine learning, large language models, and applied AI systems. The fields redefining every industry veterans enter.
03
Why Robotics?
Autonomous systems, industrial automation, and field logistics. The civilian discipline closest to operational military work.
04
Why Cybersecurity?
Threat analysis and defense operations. A field that rewards the exact instincts trained by years of service.
Founder & President
Why did I build the Foundation?
When I took off the uniform, the path from special operations to cloud architecture was not a roadmap. It was a lot of self-funded certifications, late nights, and the sense that a generation of proven leaders was being locked out of the industries that needed them most.
The Altivum Foundation exists because certification costs are prohibitive and training programs are fragmented. The veterans who can lead a team through a combat zone can lead an engineering team through a product launch — if someone gives them the technical foundation.
This is that foundation. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 41-4163272) that funds the education at no cost to the scholar, with every contribution fully tax-deductible.
