Paying for College

[Soccerchic24]

Should I be worried about financial aid if I am going to join the Marine Reserves, and they will pay for my college tuition?

See http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/joiningup/a/recruiter8_2.htm

The Navy and Marine Corps Reserves do not offer a Tuition Assistance Program, at present. However, (for all of the reserve service), military members who are called to active duty under Title 10 – Federal Call up – get the same TA benefits as their active duty counterparts. That means, for example, that a Reserve Marine, called to active duty, would be eligible for the Marine Corps Active Duty Tuition Assistance Program.

Ohh the recruiter I spoke to said that they would pay while I was in school

Recruiters are rewarded for meeting their quota. Always double check what you are told.

I will. So does any of the reserves offer tuition assistance?
