Scholarships for Military Spouses - A Fitting Honor

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Twenty-four years ago, President Ronald Reagan set aside May 9 as Military Spouse Day to honor the achievements and sacrifices that military spouses make each and every day. And to highlight the importance of the day, President George Bush recently recognized six current military spouses for their extraordinary efforts and volunteer work. And this recognition by the Commander-in-Chief comes along with a host of private and governmental efforts to reward and honor military spouses with such things as scholarships for military spouses, child care assistance and career training programs.

Securing jobs for military spouses has become an important goal for the military and one of the best ways to do that is by giving spouses access to job training and education. These days there is a host of aid for military spouses, including military spouse financial aid for school, student loans for military spouse and military spouse college benefits.

One of the best examples of these efforts is the government's Military Spouse Career Advancement Initiative, which offers military spouses at 18 select military installations education funds for school. Eligible spouses qualify for up to $3,000 a year for education and can renew for a second year of schooling; this is a two-year pilot program that may be extended after the government evaluates student enrollment and completion rates.

The good news is that military spouse education is now in the forefront of people's mind, and along with official recognition from the President and other officials, it's just a matter of time before more Americans come to appreciate and consider the sacrifices that these citizens make for the country as a whole.
