How to Get the Army to Pay for College

The Army offers to pay for your education as an incentive to join. You can go to college on a ROTC scholarship and become an officer or take courses while enlisted. If you don't finish your degree while on active duty you can use money from the Army College Fund and the Montgomery GI Bill.
