Online Spouse Education Resource

NMFA Launches Online Military Spouse Education Resource

When it comes to continuing education, frequent moves present challenges such as transferring credits to equivalent courses, varying state requirements, multiple application and processing fees - not to mention, the lost dollars for credits that don't transfer. With this in mind, NMFA designed a comprehensive online resource for military spouses pursuing higher education. This newly developed section arms military spouses with the information needed to successfully obtain their education goals. Find detailed information about starting your education; choosing and/or transferring schools; scholarships, grants, financial aid, in-state tuition; resources for the foreign-born spouse; mobile careers and more.

*UPDATE* More resources below.

The deadline is approaching for the Scholarships for Military Children program. Applications for the $1,500 scholarships are available at 264 commissaries worldwide or can be downloaded through links at http://www.commissaries.com, http://www.militaryscholar.org, or http://www.dodea.edu. The $1,500 scholarships are available for children of military active-duty, retired, and Guard and Reserve servicemembers. Applications for 2007, which include an essay on "how and why" the applicant would change an historical event, must be turned in at a commissary by close of business on Feb. 21, 2007. At least one $1,500 scholarship will be awarded at every commissary location with qualified applicants.

Remember: Not applying for scholarships is like turning down free money. Get started on your search for scholarships today - visit the Military.com Scholarship Finder.

Hello spouses and soon to be's. I wanted to share a website with those of you who are searching for short term career training that is very rewarding. A way for you to become your own business owner without having to set up shop (since moving is always a possibility) Being a former military wife, and wanting to be supportive of my husband, and yet and wanting my own identity in a fulfilling career but having to move from place to place, I understand the frustration often felt by displacement. Well how about a career you take with you in beauty and fashion? I have worked for more than 14 years internationally in hair and makeup for film and television, and when I married, I wanted a way to continue my art "on the move". In 2005 I opened Makeup Artist Studio Inc. An international makeup artist training school. We have just become licensed as a technical school through the State Council of Higher Education, and As of February 2009 we will be accepting the G.I. Bill to help spouses with financing as well as other options. If you are interested in a rewarding, colorful, artistic career as a professional makeup artist. Then call me, I would be happy to discuss our training options with you and how you can take this career literally "around the world". 804-232-3366
