Your service has earned you up to $4,500 worth of Tuition Assistance. This benefit expires once you leave the service. Here are 4 tips that will help you get a degree while you serve.
1) Visit your education services office -- Each branch of the military has education counselors who are there to help you.
2) There's strength in numbers. Sign up for classes with a buddy or your spouse.
3) Get college Credit for Your Military Service -- There are several non-traditional ways to earn your degree including distance learning (online classes) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST). CLEP and DSST are exams you can take to earn college credits without ever entering a classroom.
4) Speed kills. Getting a degree is not a race. Set a pace that works for you. Trying to cram too much into your busy life can kill your resolve.
If you haven't enrolled in classes, the best way to start is to find Military-Friendly schools that will work around your schedule. Search for schools that offer: credit for service, online degree programs, flexible schedules, military tuition discounts and scholarships. Request information from Military-Friendly Schools today.
