Partnership OpportunitiesThe Army National Guard seeks to make a full range of postsecondary
educational opportunities and programs available to its members.
These are just some examples of how schools can partner with
the Guard: Academic Partnerships Partnerships consists of degree and non-degree courses
of various types in National Guard armories/community centers,
offered to Guard members and students from the nearby community.
The range of courses extend from professional and personal development
to specialized military training in subjects such as equal opportunity/diversity
management, hazardous materials handling, and military occupational
specialty (MOS) related courses. Distributive Training Technology Project (DTTP) The National Guard distance learning network, the Distributive
Training Technology Project (DTTP), is connecting all 54
states and territories as a primary mechanism for the affordable
delivery of readiness and professional development training.
When fully implemented, DTTP lends itself to the sharing of education,
training, and information resources with government, business,
higher education and the community. The goal is to establish
a site within 60 miles or 60 minutes of every Guard member in
each of the 54states and territories, and for the sites to serve
as community-based learning and information centers. This network
offers a venue for schools to deliver their distance learning
courses across the nation. Community Learning and Information Network (CLIN) The Community Learning and
Information Network (CLIN) is a public-private partnership
that provides further access to education through state of the
art learning sites accessible to all community members. Incentive Programs for Guard Members Some schools are voluntarily offering incentives to as a way
to tap into the military market. Current incentives include discounts
on tuition, room and board, and scholarships for Guard members.
As a return on their investment, schools draw Guard members and
members of the community into their programs. ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) allows Guard members
to participate in the Army ROTC at colleges and universities
where available. The Guard has a limited number of Dedicated
National Guard Scholarships and Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty
Scholarships available. Colleges may partner with the Guard to
increase enrollment in the ROTC program. Initiating a Partnership with the Guard Schools can do this by contacting the Guard Education Services Office in your state or territory or by contacting SOCGuard at 1-800-368-5622. |
