The Educational Benefits of being a Marine

Becoming a Marine comes with wonderful educational benefits and three of them will be explained. The Marine Corps truly value their service members, and it ultimately believes that the best weapon each soldier possesses is his or her mind. So, to ensure that it operates at peak performance they offer multiple ways for members to enhance their knowledge and become more successful.

The first program that is provided by the Marine Corps is Tuition Assistance (TA). This program is available at any duty station and covers 100 percent of their tuition at any institution that is accredited. The (TA) program does require all students to maintain at least a “C” average in all registered college courses. The program also affords enlisted men and women the opportunity to earn an advanced degree as well as points that can be used towards their promotion.

Secondly, the Marine Corps provides a program called “Post-911 GI Bill”. This program provides 100 percent tuition assistance only after you have completed 36 months of active duty. Service members who are successfully enrolled can be provided support for tuition, books, fees, supplies and housing cost.

Lastly, the Marine Corps renders a program called the “Montgomery GI Bill.” Being a part of this program Marines can be awarded free money that is not taxed which can be used for their education. Additionally, the funds can be used at approved colleges, technical schools, and vocational programs. Service members have ten years after having an honorable discharge to utilize this service. The three reasons that were mentioned shows why the Marine Corps offers an excellent educational, beneficial environment.
