Options In Education With Military Service

September 16, 2008 By admin

There are a varied number of different advantages to enlisting in the United States Military in getting a college education. Each of the 5 services in the US Armed Forces offer programs that will aid a person who is seeking to get a college education. Not all of them are open to all people, but if a person is willing to investigate and look into what is available they will find that there are likely options that would benefit them individually. Each of the 5 services has a version of the TA tuition assistance program for active duty Servicemembers, but also each of the services has programs and elements that can benefit you potentially as a future college student.

Many different things are available to a person who is determined to get an education, and one of the best methods is using the different benefits open to a member of the Armed Services. Enlisting will not solve all of your college funding issues, but it will certainly give you a number of lucrative options toward getting an education that is largely paid for by the US Government. There are some specific issues to keep in mind when you are seeking to get an education with aid from the US military, and some of these include:
Military Service- While it may sound like a trite or old saying, there are simply some of the best opportunities and funding options around by choosing to participate in the US Armed Forces. While it may be an old adage, the military does have some of the best funding programs on the planet, if you truly wish to attend college and have the government pay for it. Besides the Montgomery GI Bill, there are options in ROTC, or Reserve Officer Training programs, and also active duty Tuition Assistance programs that cover 100 percent of the tuition for different college programs when you are on active duty. The Early Bird- The saying ?The early bird gets the worm,? was likely written about seeking college educational help. If you are still in high School, you can file your federal financial aid form when you start school your senior year. It will seem like you are getting ahead of the ball, but filling out and filing your FAF federal aid form online is a simple thing, but many people wait far too long. Some types of financial aid are awarded first come first serve, so it?s a good idea to file early.

After January 1st your senior year, you should immediately file for financial aid. The earlier you file the more you may be eligible for. You can file up to June of the year that you want to attend in the fall.
