MyCAA / SpouseWorks Scholarship (DoD)
Serves: Nationwide
Free tuition assistance of up to $4,000 for military spouses pursuing licenses, certifications, or associate degrees in portable, high-demand career fields — one of the most underused DoD benefits. Recently renamed SpouseWorks Scholarship and expanded to cover spouses of active-duty service members in pay grades E-1 to E-9, W-1 to W-3, and O-1 to O-3, plus National Guard and Reserve members on Title 10 orders in those same grades. Annual cap of $2,000 (waivable for upfront licensure costs). Covers tuition only — not books, fees, or supplies. Apply at mycaa.militaryonesource.mil or call a SECO Career Counselor at 800-342-9647 (Mon-Fri 7am-10pm EST, Sat 10am-6pm).
