Working By Design - Kit 105, 14621 Spaulding Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78410 Three ways to beat the high cost of college. 1. The Montgomery Gl Bill 2. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time Income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Mont gomery GI Bill can provide you with up to $7,124 for current college ex penses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here’s how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You’ll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you’ll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You’ll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give us a call: (409) 764-0572 BE ALL YOU CAM Btf ARMY RESERVE 50 in.
