In the National Guard can a part-time commitment fund your full-time education?

No, a part-time commitment in the National Guard will not typically fund your *full-time* education. While the National Guard offers educational assistance programs, like the Montgomery GI Bill and the State Tuition Assistance programs, these are usually geared towards covering a portion of tuition costs, and the amount depends on factors such as your rank, commitment length, and the specific program.

A part-time commitment means you'll have fewer opportunities to accrue benefits compared to a full-time commitment. Full-time Soldiers often qualify for more substantial financial aid and quicker benefit accrual. It's possible a part-time commitment *could* contribute to your education, covering some costs, but it's highly unlikely to cover the entire cost of a full-time education. You'd likely need to supplement with other financial aid sources like scholarships, loans, and part-time jobs.

To get a clear understanding of how much educational assistance you might receive with a part-time commitment, you should contact your state's National Guard Education office and/or your recruiter. They can provide specifics based on your situation and available programs.
