Short on Funds?

Don't let that shortchange your higher education.

Think you might want an associate, bachelor's or master’s degree? Let the National Guard pay for it.

We take college seriously, so we offer programs that cover everything from tuition to expenses.

All that, and your steady Guard paycheck too.

If you’re a high school grad or a graduating senior, you can get started now. If you need your GED, you can get that through us too, and prepare for college—with our help—at the same time.

Don’t wait! The sooner you leap, the faster life gets great.

Full-time school. Part-time Guard. It's a no-brainer.
