It covers an associate, bachelor or graduate degree, a graduate certificate, or vocational training, and you can use it before initial active duty training. Funding is limited and the amount varies from semester to semester.
Apply during your school term’s enrollment window through the North Carolina National Guard tuition assistance page. Fall applications open 1 August to 30 August, spring 1 January to 30 January, summer term I 12 April to 10 May, and summer term II 1 June to 12 June. Nothing is accepted after a deadline. For help call the Education Services Office on 984-664-6272 or email ng.nc.ncarng.mbx.nctap@army.mil.
