Imagine America Scholarship available to members of the military!
by Tracy Benbrook (January 16, 2006)A scholarship program established by the Career College Foundation provides money that can be used by active duty or honorably discharged veterans of the United States Military toward a career college education. This scholarship, the Imagine America Military Award Program (MAP), was established in 2004 to help make the transition from military to civilian life easier for members of the U.S. Military.
The scholarship, which provides $1,000 to each individual who qualifies, can be used at over 250 different career colleges who participate in Imagine America MAP. The deadline for application is June 30th, 2006, and participants must meet the following qualifications:
• Active duty military person in good standing or honorably discharged veteran
• Likelihood of enrolling and successfully completing postsecondary education
• Financial need
This scholarship can be a great way to get some additional funding for a career college education! For current and former military members who want to expand on the knowledge they received in the military or who wish to learn an entirely new skill, career education can make a real difference! And the Imagine America Military Award Program can help make it happen.
