    Posted by admin on July 24th, 2010 and filed under college funding | No Comments »

    LOOKING FOR A WAY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL?

    The Guard is your ticket to a successful education. We offer benefits like: 100% Tuition Assistance—up to $18,000 over four years; the Montgomery G.I. Bill; Post 9/11 G.I. Bill; Army National Guard Kicker; National Guard Scholarships that can pay up to $10,000 a year plus a $1,200 book allowance; and student loan repayment programs. It’s a great way to pay for college and put cash in your pocket. We can even help you get your GED. Check out all the details.

    Money for College: 100% Tuition Assistance

    The Guard can pay up to 100% of your college tuition and general fees, based on in-state public institution tuition rates—that’s up to $18,000 over four years.* Plus, many states offer additional college funding. Your recruiter has all the information.

    Montgomery G.I. Bill
    In addition to paying your college tuition, we’ll send you a monthly allowance of up to $333 for expenses—about $11,000 over a four-year period. Best of all, this money is sent directly to you (not to your school) to spend on books, supplies—or anything you want. Your recruiter will have all the details.

    Post-9/11 G.I. Bill

    For Soldiers with at least 90 days of Active Duty service on or after September 11, 2001, the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill can cover up to 100% of your tuition, depending on the length of time you’ve served. You may also be eligible for an annual stipend of $1,000 for books and supplies, and your benefits may be transferrable to you dependents.

    Army National Guard Kicker
    The Army National Guard Kicker supplement to the Montgomery G.I. Bill pays up to $350 per month in living expenses—up to $12,600 over 36 months. You’ll need to apply and qualify for this program. In order to qualify, you must:

    •Be attending an accredited school
    •Be a traditional (part-time) Army National Guard Soldier in an active drilling status
    •Be eligible beginning the day you join the Army National Guard
    •Remain in the Guard during the complete term of your college courses

    Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships

    ROTC is a college elective that allows you to earn a commission straight out of college as a second lieutenant in the Army. The course consists of both academic classes and hands-on training—mental and physical challenges that will help you succeed in college and beyond. Participation takes just a few hours per week.

    scholarships include:

    •A wide range of merit-based scholarships that pay up to full college tuition
    •Additional funds to pay for books, supplies and other school fees
    •Tax-free stipends up to $500 per month if you qualify
    All ROTC scholarships require a service commitment. Check with your recruiter for details.

    Student Loan Repayment Program
    For Soldiers and officers who have an existing student loan obligation at the time of enlistment in the Guard, there is a program that may pay up to $50,000 for certain jobs, with a six- or eight-year enlistment as a member of a unit.

    In addition, current Guard members who extend their enlistment contract for a minimum period of six years are also eligible for this program, provided they meet certain requirements, including a qualifying score on the Armed Forces Qualifying Test and being in a valid Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS):
    Guard speak for “your job.” Every job title in the Guard has a code, using a number and letter. For example, a Cavalry Scout is MOS 19D (19 Delta). in a National Guard unit.

    Your state may have its own funding packages in addition to these federal programs. Ask your local recruiter.

    The Guard has other programs and services to help you earn additional college credits, prepare for your graduate school exam, or even get your GED—all while earning your Guard pay. Find out more.

    *Up to $4,500 per year, based on your commitment.

    National Guard programs and benefits are subject to change. Contact me and I can assist with current information.

    Auburn University: Serving the Community

    Posted by admin on June 6th, 2010 and filed under college grant | 1 Comment »

    Original Lecture Date and Time: November 9, 2006 at 4PM
    Location: Special Collections & Archives, Ralph Brown Draughon Library
    Speaker: J. Wayne Flynt

    About the Speaker

    J. Wayne Flynt recently retired from his position as Distinguished University Professor at Auburn University and has written numerous books, articles, and reviews on Alabama and Southern history.

    About the Lecture

    Congress established the land grant college system in part to provide academic training in disciplines that served the larger community. Isaac Taylor Tichenor, the first president of Alabama’s new land grant college, supported this with the missionary zeal of New South proponents. In 1914 Congress furthered this mission by creating a network of farm extension agents, and later home demonstration agents, linked to the land grant schools in every state. This sense of community service has been exemplified by Auburn University faculty in every academic discipline. These individuals have carried the benefits of academic research to homes, families, and business across the state from the earliest days of the school.

    10/18/09 Governor Quinn Signs Legislation to Save MAP Grants

    Posted by admin on June 6th, 2010 and filed under college grant | No Comments »

    CHICAGO October 18, 2009. Governor Pat Quinn today signed legislation to cover critical second-semester MAP funding for nearly 138,000 eligible students. Senate Bill 1180 appropriates full funding for the need-based student aid program, allowing both students and colleges to plan for the Spring 2010 college term.

    I salute the General Assembly for their swift response to what could have been a serious setback to students across the state who rely on MAP funding for their education, said Governor Quinn. I look forward to continuing to work with the legislature to find revenue to support this critical program.

    The Illinois Monetary Award Program is a need-based grant available through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). Budget cuts in the Spring 2009 legislative session severely limited student aid for the 2009-2010 academic year, causing approximately 138,000 MAP grant recipients to receive only 50 percent of their award, covering only the Fall 2009 school term. In addition, an estimated 130,000 eligible students, who applied in Illinois after May 15, would have received no MAP aid at all.

    Over the past few months, Governor Quinn has participated in rallies with students, parents, teachers, administrators, lawmakers and other interested citizens across the state in the last few weeks to draw attention to the critical problem facing students who rely on MAP grants. Governor Quinn has addressed MAP rallies at Bradley University, Black Hawk Community College, John Wood Community College, University of Illinois at Champaign, SIU Carbondale, SIU Edwardsville, Northern Illinois University, University of Illinois at Chicago and in Springfield at the Illinois Education Association Center.

    The legislation takes effect immediately.
