Education

Whether your child is right out of high school or has completed college or postgraduate studies, there are many opportunities to help expand his/her skills and knowledge with unique programs tailored to his/her specific career path. In addition, the Air Force offers numerous tuition assistance plans.

Enlisted Education

The education Air Force members receive goes far beyond career training. Our goal is to provide members with programs that will help them reach their goals and tap into their ultimate potential.

Community College of the Air Force

Those who enlist in the Air Force are automatically enrolled in the Community College of the Air Force, America's largest community college. They can choose from five areas of specialty to work toward their associate's degree.

Financial Programs

Airmen can also receive financial aid through the Air Force Tuition Assistance program, the Montgomery GI Bill and the College Loan Repayment Program. The Air Force ROTC program is another way your child can earn partial or full scholarships during high school or college. Other options include the Scholarship for Outstanding Airman to ROTC (SOAR), Professional Officers Course-Early Release Program (POC-ERP) and the Airmen Scholarship and Commissioning Program (ASCP).

Technical Training

After your child completes Air Force Basic Training, he/she will be enrolled in technical school where he/she will learn in more detail about his/her chosen area of study from highly skilled instructors.
