Military Reserve and National Guard Grant

Military Grant!

The Military Appreciation Grant will cover up to 20% of your tuition. Undergraduate books are included!

Depending on your academic program, it may be more than 20% so your combined tuition, books, and fees are no greater than $250 per credit. Herzing University Online extends this grant in appreciation of your service to our country.

Eligibility: This grant is extended to all servicemembers currently serving in any branch of the United States Armed Forces including National Guard and Reserves who are pursuing a diploma or degree program at Herzing University Online. Proof of affiliation is required at time of application. Books are not included in tuition for graduate courses.

Selective Reserve Members

• Montgomery GI Bill – Selective Reserve
  Those enrolled in the Selective Reserves are eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill – Selective Reserve (Ch 1606) educational benefit. The MGIB – SR is very similar to the MGIB, granting 36 months of benefits toward an approved educational program. For more information regarding MGIB – SR eligibility and benefits, view Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve pamphlet on the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs web site.
• Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP)

Those Selective Reserve members who received orders for and served 90-consecutive days of active duty on or after September 11, 2001, under title 10 U.S. Code for a contingency operation may be eligible for educational benefits through the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (Ch 1607). National Guard members may also be eligible. This program may be used instead of the MGIB – SR. For more details, review the REAP pamphlet on the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs web site.
