Benefits
MONEY FOR COLLEGE
Below are just some of the scholarships, grants and education benefits that the Army offers to help you earn money for a college education or pay off existing student loans.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Army scholarships award students for academic excellence and allow them to focus on earning their college degree rather than worrying about how they’re going to pay for it. Read more about how to earn money for college through these Army scholarships.
Learn MoreMONTGOMERY GI BILL
The Montgomery GI Bill is designed to help you pay for your college education.
Depending on how long you enlist with the Army and the job you choose, you can get over $50,000 to help pay for college. All you have to do is give $100 a month during your first year of service.
While most people think of the Montgomery GI Bill as a military benefit, it’s not actually managed by the Department of Defense or any branch of the U.S. Military. The Montgomery GI Bill is actually a “veteran benefit” and is managed by the Veterans Administration, which administers the program based upon the laws enacted by Congress.
To find out more about current amounts and eligibility requirements, contact your local Army recruiter or Army job counselor.

The Army Reserve offers a selected Reserve Montgomery GI Bill of up to $12,132. If you qualify for and accept a critical position in the Army Reserve, you can earn an additional MGIB kicker.

CPT JEFFREY KIKI
Family Practice Physician (61H)
I'm Captain Jeffrey Kiki, a 61 Hotel (61H).
Sixty-one Hotel is a physician for the Army. I came in the Army by applying for the Health Professional Scholarship program. I realized the Army was a great choice for me, because it gave me the benefits that I needed.
One of the biggest benefits it provides you is that it pays for your medical school, books, fees and tuition, as well as coverage for your personal health insurance.
I think the Army gave me an education that I wouldn't have gotten on the outside. They threw me into so many situations that I learned to do it all.
And four years from now my commitment with the Army will be up, and I'll have a choice. The reason is Army doctors are really sought after. So my choice's are gonna be wide open.
The Army has been a great experience for me.
