Selected military Reserve and National Guard units also offer a tuition assistance program, although the benefits may vary from the full-time duty program.

Bill, and upon honorable discharge. Enlistees who are awarded the College Fund by the Marine Corps or Coast Guard receive even more.
Loan Repayment Programs
In the full-time duty Army, soldiers can qualify to have their loan repaid by the military at the rate of one-third of the loan for each year of full-time duty served (maximum loan repayment is $70,000). The Army also helps soldiers pay off student loans they've taken out, provided they attended schools on an approved Perkins, Stafford, or other Department of Education Guaranteed Student Loan.
In the full-time duty Navy, a $65,000 loan repayment program is also available. Qualifications include prior military service, a high school diploma, and a loan guaranteed under the Higher Education Act of 1965. You must qualify for Navy Nuclear Field or other designated critical rating as defined by the U.S. Navy, and other restrictions apply.
