There are nine colleges/university branches if you are pursuing
your associates, bachelors or master degrees, with a satelite campus here on
post. There is also a community college and vo-tech school in
Elizabethtown. All programs in the area accept GI/Veterans benefits and Pell
Grant/Student Loan Programs. Most consider soldiers and family
members exempt from out of state tuition. Tuition assistance for soldiers can be
arranged through the Education Center.
The Army Career Alumni Program
(ACAP) assists prior military and retirees who are attending school three
quarters time or full-time to apply for VA work-study status. This
affords prior military the opportunity to work in several agencies on post as
hired Work Study students.
ACAP also takes reservations for the weekly
3-day Transition Assistance Program (TAP) workshops.
For
additional information, prior military and retirees need to talk with their VA
representative and Army Career Alumni Program (ACAP).
