Scholarships and Financial Assistance

The importance of continuing education cannot be stressed enough.  From playing a role in a service member's advancement potential to being a determining factor in many civilian job placements, the time to pursue your educational goals is now!

With approximately 300,000 service members enrolling in post secondary courses annually, the Department of Defense (DoD) realizes the importance of education in a service member's career lifecycle.  In addition, DoD understands that lifelong learning is vital to the family as well.  While the mobile military lifestyle makes it more difficult to complete your degree, both the DoD and educational institutions nationwide have responded to this challenge by offering a variety of options to ensure that every service member and family member has the opportunity to achieve his or her educational goals. 

While financing a college education can seem like an intimidating task, there are numerous scholarship and financial aid opportunities available to service members and their families.   Take advantage of the financial opportunities provided here when funding your continuing education.
