Mil.spouses: MyCAA scholarship

Military spouses have more flexibility to use the ‘My Career Advancement Account Scholarship’ to pursue education and professional credentials. The FY 2020 National Defense Authorization Act expands the program to help pay tuition up to $4,000 for a license, certification or associate degree to pursue any occupation or career. As long as the military spouse, school and a Spouse Education and Career Opportunities career coach work together to define a clear career path, called an education and training plan, the funds can be applied. Previously, MyCAA could only be used toward 13 defined fields and 170 careers. The best way to get started is to call Military One Source at 800-342-9647 to connect with a SECO career coach.
