RESOURCES FOR MILITARY FAMILIES

 

All U.S. military families have FREE, unlimited access to Military Tutor.com's online homework, tutoring and career services provided by the Department of Defense.

Simply go to the Military Tutor website, select your military branch and follow the directions to get a password to access the service.

All military dependents- including National Guard and Reserve- are eligible for free online tutoring through Tutor.com. There are over 40 courses to choose from (Math, English, Science, Social Studies, World Languages) including Test Prep (PSAT, SAT, and ACT).

 

Dependents of Veterans may be eligible for financial student aid for college. 

There are several programs such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Montgomery GI Bill, that can provide tuition assistance to eligible dependents of members of the military. The amount you will receive depends on the length of service and type of school you choose to attend. You can contact the local VA for information on specific benefits you are qualified for, and how to apply for them.

Learn more about these programs and how to apply on the VA Education and Training Benefits Website
