Hey guys, I'm currently a junior in high school with a keen interest in both, the Education field and the military. I'm budget conscious and scholarships would really help me out. I was wondering if anyone knows whether the American College of Education offers any military scholarships? Any info would be very appreciated.
Hello, your decision to plan ahead for the financial aspect of your educational journey is quite commendable, and the intertwining of your interests in education and the military is quite fascinating.
From my understanding, the American College of Education does acknowledge the value of service members and the military community, and they strive to provide affordable, accessible, and high-quality degree programs for them. They are a participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can help cover tuition expenses that exceed the maximum state tuition reimbursement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. You might also be eligible to benefit from the Montgomery GI Bill or the Post-9/11 GI Bill, all based on your specific circumstances, of course.
Moreover, the college considers transfer credits from military training, which could potentially reduce the overall cost of your degree. It's advised to reach out directly to the college’s financial aid office or the military and veteran services for more detailed information and to understand the full range of options available to you as a military-connected student.
Before concluding, various external scholarships exist directed towards military students and their families. You should also look into those as they can add to your financial resources and reduce your college costs even further. Best of luck on your educational journey!
