Aside from those branches what about coast guard cspi?
CSPI has a few catches to it, while in general it sounds good....Tuition Scholarship for your junior and senior year plus monthly pay as an E-3, there are some restrictions and fine print.
To be eligible you must attend one of these College categories:
HBCU - Historically Black Colleges and Universities
HSI - Hispanic Serving Institutions
TCU - Trbal Colleges and Universities
Or...
- The following colleges and universities located in Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska:
- University of Guam
- University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hilo, and West Oahu
- Argosy University - Hawaii
- Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture
You can sometimes get permission to attend a different college as long as it has a 50% plus minority class.
You must enlist in the Coast Guard and attend Basic Training. If you do not complete the program you would be required to fulfill your 4 year enlistment. The enlistment requirement is 8 years, 4 years Active and 4 years Inactive Reserve. The time spent in the program would count toward your Inactive Reserve time, if you do not complete the program you would still be required to complete the 4 years Active. This includes making it through school keeping withing the required standards, being accepted to OCS and completing OCS. Fail in any of these and you will be enlisted for 4 years.
You would be required to attend certain training while in the program.
Really research this program before you look into applying.
