About the Program
The loan works at any degree level at Georgia public colleges and at some private schools that participate, subject to funding limits. You have to submit a FAFSA, though you don’t have to use the aid. You also need to apply for Army Tuition Assistance if you’re eligible and for the Post-9/11 GI Bill unless you’ve transferred it. You need good grades, and you have to submit a Verification of Status form every year, or the loan converts to a regular student loan. The Guard’s education page also lists Tuition Assistance of up to $250 per semester hour and the Georgia HERO Scholarship of up to $2,000 per year for Guard members who have deployed. The page doesn’t describe the HERO application, so ask the education office.
