As part of this program she also will receive her tuition and books paid for at any Indiana state college. Also while in school she will receive $900.00 a month plus what she will receive for attending guard meetings monthly plus 2 weeks summer camp. She has made all A's in high school and has tested out to be a medic while in the guard.

She will graduate with no student loans. She found this opportunity on her own and was totally her idea.
This is great. She is earning every bit of her education!
