There are a number of different programs available to Servicemembers who want to attain an education, or to use their Montgomery GI Bill benefits, but there are not very many opportunities available for the Spouses of Military Servicemembers. Recently, a University based in Iowa decided to offer a discount for military spouses. The University offered the discount first on the same day that President Bush called for more ability to transfer GI benefits to other members of the Servicemember’s family. The Kaplan University is a university that offers both in person attendance and distance learning opportunities.
Kaplan University is located in Davenport Iowa, and it is offering a 10 percent discount for those spouses who have service member’s serving in the United States Military. This discount is available to both active duty and reserve Servicemember spouses. Kaplan University has over 100 different programs of academic learning, most of which are available to students who wish to obtain a degree online. Serving in the military often makes getting an education a difficult event which is why the usage of distance learning programs such as the Kaplan University program can be a definite advantage for military personnel and their relatives.
