US Military Friendly Schools ? Get Money for College

June 22, 2012 By admin

As you begin your search for a US Military friendly school, you are sure to find many options. But does this mean that every school is the same as the next? Of course not. If you have military experience and are thinking about enrolling in college, you want to find an institution that caters to people in your position.

How much will it cost?

With your status as a veteran, you may be able to receive much needed money for college. Like most people ? veteran or not ? a large part of your decision is going to be based on the cost of tuition and other fees.

Above all else, get a better idea of how much money you can receive from the military. This can come to you through programs such as tuition assistance as well as the Montgomery GI Bill.

With the Montgomery GI Bill, for example, it is essential to first make sure the school you are interested in is an approved provider.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs keeps a long list of schools that are approved to participate in this program, as well as many others.

Note: like all college students, you can apply for state and federal financial aid as well as scholarships and grants.

ACE College Credit

With the help of the American Council on Education, you may find that your military experience can be converted into college credit. How great is that? You are able to receive credit before you ever step foot on campus.

Don?t be surprised if you are awarded 12 or more credits for your experience in the US Military. This is equivalent to approximately one semester of college. Not only will this save you money, but it will also allow you to graduate sooner than expected.

Free Money is Still Best

As a veteran, there are many scholarship programs to consider. These are awarded by individual institutions as well as third party organizations. While there is nothing better than free money, you are not going to qualify until you apply.

For example, Grantham University offers a veterans scholarship program that greatly reduces the cost per credit. If you are on the fence regarding which school to attend, it is best to focus on those that are going to offer you free money based on your military service.

When you find a US Military friendly school, you will feel comfortable with the choice you are making as well as the money you are saving.
