Money for Spouses
Jun 02 2009
A Department of Defense program offering up to $6000 in assistance to military spouses for educational and training purposes is being expanded. This is not the same program as the old Department of Labor pilot program. The new initiative encompasses a broader field of disciplines. There are already over approved 600 schools on the website.
The program is open to spouses of active-duty or activated National Guard or Reserve military members. According to a recent Navy Times article, spouses of Coast Guard members deployed with the Navy are also eligible.
Spouses who would like additional information, view a list of FAQs or apply should go to the website. Even though the Spouse Career Advancement Account Financial Assistance program has not yet officially launched, you can still go online and enroll.
