If you are interested in military service, the U.S. armed forces may help you pay for your college education. The various branches of the armed forces offer government-sponsored financial aid programs.
Some programs allow you to attend college full-time and then serve following graduation. You may participate in a reserve (ROTC) or National Guard program during college.
The branches of the military also offer financial aid programs and college loan repayment programs for active duty service members.
