Get School Paid For!

I love the statement by President Hinkley when he said to get all of the education you can.  In today's world we never know when our spouses might be atrited or something worse.  As spouses, we need to be prepared to help out financially in our families.  While it may not be the ideal situation in a gospel sense, for more and more of us, having a good paying job is becoming a necessity.  

We all know about the GI Bill and the other options there are for our spouses to get an education, but did you know there is a Department of Defense program for you too?  You can get up to $6000 towards a degree or certificate in careers that are especially portable; a must for military spouses.  Many of the programs are on-line, making it easier for spouses who are caring for young children.  There is information about this program, the military spouse career advancement account, at Military OneSource.  This program is open to all active duty spouses and the spouses of activated reservists and national guard members.

Additionally, there are many scholarship programs out there just for military spouses.  So be the best you can be, by being prepared for whatever gets thrown your way, by having a career you can count on.
