On May 30th, 2006 Anaheim University presented the Global Learning Partner of the Decade Award to Citigroup. Employees of companies such as Citigroup who have formed Global Learning Partnerships with Anaheim University receive discounted tuition. According to International Liaison Officer David Bracey, "Some of our most motivated students are from Citigroup, and we are pleased to honor Citigroup for their efforts in providing educational opportunities to their employees. Each year we enjoy the opportunity to make orientation presentations for the Online International MBA program through the Anaheim University Akio Morita School of Business to their new recruits in Tokyo, and Citigroup has been extremely helpful in their efforts to arrange this."

Several other awards were presented and numerous announcements were made at the graduation and award ceremony during the evening, including the announcement of the Corporate Sponsor of the Decade Award being awarded to Coca-Cola for its ongoing support of Anaheim University events and activities. According to Mr Bracey, Coca-Cola has provided the University with over 20,000 drinks and Coca-Cola goods over the past decade.
