USCG Educational Pre Commissioning

April 18, 2008 By admin

There is a program for students who may be interested in serving their county in the Coast Guard as a commissioned officer. This program is for college juniors enrolled in a four-year program leading to a bachelor of science, or a Bachelor of Arts degree. This program is a challenging one, but one that is feasible and attainable for many college students who may be interested in a career as a commissioned officer. The Coast Guard pre commissioning student initiative scholarship program is for those students who are about to enter their third year of college, or their junior year. It is a program that should be applied for during the latter half of the sophomore year of college.

This is a program, which stresses leadership, marine science skills, navigation, law enforcement, and business and management type training. Those who apply for the program and who win the scholarship are awarded the following benefits: a monthly salary of about 2,000 dollars, full tuition books and fees, all textbooks and miscellaneous school costs paid, free medical, dental and life insurance, a monthly housing and food allowance, thirty days paid vacation a year, and various levels of leadership and individual mentor training.

Are you interested in an exciting career in the Military? See if you qualify. Click Here Now!

This Coast Guard Educational Scholarship program is a lucrative one should you be chosen to participate. To qualify you must be a U.S. citizen, have an accumulated GPA of 2.5 or better, be able to meet all the physical requirements for a Coast Guard Officer, be between the ages of 21 and 26 years of age, already be enrolled with a four year program with a defined course of study leading to a four year degree, and you have to have had a high score on the ASVAB or a corresponding high score on the SAT or SAT II tests.

You must also already possess at least 60 credits with at least a 2.5 overall GPA average.
This is a program designed to encourage college students to enroll and become Coast Guard commissioned officers. It has applications, which close each spring for the following year, which determines the next scholarship class for the fall term. The Coast Guard recruits and establishes new commissioned officers from both the female and male ranks each year, and when you become a commissioned officer in the United States Coast Guard you agree to serve for five years. After that you have the option to continue your career or to resign your commission and enter the civilian world.
