Your students are weighing college, work, and service. The Guard is the option that lets them do all three at once — in-state college, a paycheck, and a trade. Here are the honest facts you can share with students and parents.
State tuition assistance plus the federal GI Bill plus any earned scholarships stack together. For most public-college students in your state, the Guard covers tuition. I can print the exact stack for any student you send my way.
Guard Soldiers move into trades, engineering, healthcare, cybersecurity, aviation, policing, teaching, and leadership. Ask me for an outcomes deck I can share with your counseling team.
I do classroom visits, assemblies, and career-fair tables on request. I bring current Guard Soldiers when I can — so students hear directly from people close to their age.
I answer questions. I don't ask students to sign anything at a career fair. If a student is interested I follow up with them — and their parents — back at my office.
Yes. Contact me and we'll schedule a time that fits your curriculum. I can bring recent graduates who joined the Guard so students hear the real story.
No. I answer questions. Students don't sign anything at a career fair.
State tuition assistance, the federal GI Bill, and branch-specific scholarships stack with most federal and state aid. I will pull the full list for the students you send my way.
Basic Combat Training (ten weeks) and AIT happen out of state. After that students serve at a local armory in your state.
