Aid for Military Families

Education Support for Service Members, Veterans & Families

Military service requires dedication, commitment, and sacrifice. To support those who serve, along with their families, a wide range of educational assistance programs are available for individuals pursuing academic or professional development before, during, or after their service.

(ABHEC) offers guidance to help military personnel, veterans, and their dependents navigate and maximize these educational benefits effectively.

Available support includes scholarships, grants (which do not require repayment), and low-interest loan programs. Some benefits also offer interest waivers during active duty or deployment periods. These programs are designed to make higher education and vocational training more accessible for both service members and their eligible family members.
