Scholarships for military spouses and dependents could add up to $6,000 in free education money from the U.S. government.
In May 2009, the Department of Defense enacted the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program. This initiative pays up to $6,000 for post-secondary education (including distance learning), training, tuition, licensing and credentialing.
You are eligible to receive this benefit if you are a military spouse whose husband or wife has at least one year remaining on active duty and if you are pursuing education, training, or credentialing leading to employment in a "portable career field."{{ad85}}
Portable career fields are defined by the Department of Defense as: health services, information technology, financial services, trades, business/management, hospitality, homeland security, human resources, legal and education.
For more information, visit the MyCAA webpage.
