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
Montgomery GI Bill can provide you
with over $9,000 for current college
expenses or approved vo/tech training.
Second, ifyouhave—orobtain—a
qualified student loan not in default, you
may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per
year or $1,500, whichever is greater, up
to a maximum of $10,000. Selected mili
tary 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 $2,000 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 $118 a weekend
to start. It’s worth thinking about. Give
us a call:
