howmuch value does the government pay for a West Point education? I need to know for my graduation ceremony when they announce my appointment.
2.b. Benefits: A West Point cadetship includes a fully funded four‐year college education that confers a Bachelor’s of Science Degree. Tuition, room, board, and medical and dental care are provided by the U.S. Army. As members of the Armed Forces, cadets also receive an annual salary of more than $6,500, which covers the cost of uniforms, books, a personal computer, and living incidentals. Upon enrollment, Soldiers are separated from Active Duty, USAR, or the ARNG. Total value of education and training is about $450,000.
