Benefits
Service to Your Country & State
- President Kennedy said it best: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Service to your country is the number one benefit of becoming a member of the Nebraska Air National Guard.
- As long as you do not already have a four-year undergraduate degree you are eligible for tuition assistance. A waiver of 75% tuition assistance can be used at any NE state supported college or at 14 private schools (at 75% of the resident tuition rate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln). Tuition assistance can be used only on credit bearing courses which meet degree requirements.
- With a six-year enlistment you could qualify for up to $362/month just for attending college. This money can be used for anything you want; paying rent, making a car payment, or buying groceries.
