Drop your guard for a
minute. Even though you’re
in college right now, there
are many aspects of the Army
that you might find very
attractive.
Maybe even irresistible.
See for yourself.

MED SCHOOL, ON US
You read it right.
The Army’s Health Professions Scholarship
Program provides necessary tuition, books, lab
fees, even microscope rental during medical
school.
Plus a monthly stipend that works out to
about $6,000 a year.
After you’re accepted into medical
school, you can be accepted into our program.
Then you’re commissioned and you go
through school as a Second Lieutenant in the
Army Reserve.
The hitch? Very simple. After you graduate,
you give the Army a year as a doctor for every
year the Army gave you as a med student, with
a minimum obligation of three years’ service.
INTERNSHIP RESIDENCY
& CASH BONUSES
Besides 1 scholarships to medical school, the
Army also offers AMA-approved first-year
post-graduate and residency training programs.
Such training adds no further obligation to
the scholarship participant. But any Civilian
Graduate Medical Education sponsored by the
Army gives you a one-year obligation for
every year of sponsorship, with a minimum
obligation of two years’ service.
But you get a $9,000 annual bonus every
year you’re paying back medical school or post
graduate training.
So you not only get your medical education
paid for, you get extra pay while you’re paying
it back. Not a bad deal.
ADVANCED NURSING COURSE,
TUITION-FREE
You get tuition, pay and living allowances.
You can also take Nurse Practitioner courses
and courses in many clinical specialities. All on
the Army.
While these programs do not cost you any
money, most of them do incur an additional
service obligation.
A BONUS FOR
PART-TIME WORf
You can get a $1,500
bonus just for enlisting in some Army Reserve
units. Or up to $4,000 in educational benefits.
You also get paid for your Reserve duty. It
comes out to about $1,100 a year for one weekei
a month and two weeks annual training.
And now we have a special program to help
you fit the Army Reserve around your school
schedule.
It s worth a look.

A CHANCE TO PRACTICE LAW
If you’re about to get your law degree and
be admitted to the bar, you should consider a
commission in the Judge Advocate General
Corps. Because in the Army you get to practice
law right from the start.
While your classmates are still doing other
lawyers’ research and other lawyers’ briefs, you
could have your own cases, your own clients,
in effect, your own practice.
Plus you’ll have the pay, prestige and privi
leges of being an Officer in the United States
Army. With a chance to travel and make the
most of what you’ve worked so hard to
become. A real, practicing lawyer. Be an Army
Lawyer.

AGREAT PLACE TO BE A NURSE
The rich tradition of Army Nursing is one
of excellence, dedication, even heroism. And
it’s a challenge to live up to.
Today, an Army Nurse is the epitome of
professionalism, regarded as a critical member
of the Army Medical Team.
A BSN degree is required. And the clinical
spectrum is almost impossible to match in
civilian practice.
And, since you’ll be an Army Officer, you’ll
enjoy more respect and authority than most of
your civilian counterparts. You’ll also enjoy
travel opportunities, officer’s pay and officer’s
privileges.
Army Nursing offers educational oppor
tunities that are second to none. As an Army
Nurse, you could be selected for graduate degree
programs at civilian universities.
ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS
Though you're too late for a 4-year
scholarship, there are 3-, 2-, and even 1-year
scholarships available.
They include tuition, books, and lab fees.
Plus $100 a month living allowance. Naturally
they’re very competitive. Because
besides helping you towards your
degree, an ROTC scholarship helps
you towards the gold bars of an
Army Officer.
Stop by the ROTC office on
campus and ask about details.
A SECOND CHANCE AT COLLEGE
Some may find college to be the right place
at the wrong time for a variety of reasons The
Army can help them, too.
A few years in the Army can help them get
money for tuition and the maturity to use it
wisely.
The Army has a program in which money
saved for college is matched two-for-one by the
government. Then, if one qualifies, a generous
bonus is added to that.
So 2 years of service can get you up to
4>15,200 for college, 3 and 4 years up to $20,100.
In addition, bonuses up to $5,000 are available
for 4-year enlistments in selected skills. |**
Add in the experience and maturity gained,pSt
and the Army can send an individual back to
college a richer person in more ways than one.
We hope these Army opportunities have
intrigued you as well as surprised you. Because
there is indeed a lot the Army can offer a bright
person like you.
