Have you ever considered college but weren’t sure exactly what to look for when you’re in the military?

Well, the good news is that you’re not alone. Most of the military personnel I’ve worked with were wondering the same thing. There are so many colleges vying for your attendance. They know the funding is available and so they don’t have to worry about getting payments from the students for the most part.

Now there are some colleges and universities that cost considerably more than what you as military personnel are allocated for college funding.

What is Tuition Assistance?

Over the past few years of advising students to get into college, I’ve worked with students all around the world including military personnel.

I discovered a bit of a communication gap between the information that all military receive from their Recruiter about their educational benefits as they sign up for the military and a couple of years later when they decide it’s time to use their educational benefits.

Often the soldier I’m working with isn’t sure where to begin the process of getting the money needed for college.

A Failed a class now what?

Well the good thing is it’s not the end of the world. That’s not to say that it may feel like the end of the world.

There are so very many variables that come into our lives when we decide to make a change like going to college. There is always the pressure to do well in college, and often that pressure spurs us on to do great things. But there is a time to mentally step away from both the internal and external pressure and regroup so to speak.

One of the hardest things for me when I was getting into college was learning how to study. I thought I knew how since I’d been in high school, but I was so wrong and my first semester grades in college proved it. I was so embarrassed, I’d ended my high school studies with a 3.8 GPA only to follow that with a 2.7 my first semester! I couldn’t believe it. No one told me that I needed different study skills to help my transition from high school to college.

Okay, the decision for college has been made; you know you’re going, now it’s time to make sure you’re fully ready. Where do you go to brush up on your academic skills? Your Admissions Advisor gave you a little advice, but all that amounted to was a little booklet showing you how take a test based on what you already know.

Do you know what you need?

A collection resources showing you where to go to not only brush up on your current academic knowledge, but a place where you review the principles that give you the knowledge.
