Most members receive $4,500 per year of active service, and they may also be eligible for other educational payment help. While the military member has many unique choices on where they want to go to school, here are seven academic programs that veterans may want to consider. Wilmington UniversityWilmington University in New Castle, Delaware allows military members to earn their bachelor or master's degree online in unique seven-week courses. They also accept many types of credit that members may have earned in the military. University of MarylandThe University of Maryland offers both online and hybrid undergraduate courses—allowing those who have served or are currently serving in the military to spend less time away from their family. Also, they offer reduced tuition rates for military members, letting people earn their undergraduate degrees for free. This helps make the University of Maryland one of the best online colleges for military. University of FloridaThe University of Florida has three offices dedicated to helping veterans succeed in school. Additionally, the University of Florida gives all active military members stationed in Florida in-state tuition fees. They also offer other types of tuition assistance for those that are no longer active military.
