NC Colleges Offer Military Incentives
North Carolina is a military friendly state as declared by our General Assembly.

• North Carolina state schools, universities and community colleges offer in state tuition to active military, their spouses and children.

If you have a college age child or plan to continue your education, this is wonderful news and a golden opportunity. We have excellent and nationally ranked colleges and universities in North Carolina. Perhaps you are familiar with some of them Duke University, Wake Forest University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Davidson College to mention a few.

The difference between in state tuition and out of state tuition is huge and certainly means a big savings for military families. What a bonus for you and your college student.

• The NC National Guard provides excellent opportunities to its members by paying all tuition and fees and a text book reimbursement. To learn more about this program visit the NCNG website.

• North Carolina also has a program called TTT (Troops to Teachers) which offers excellent incentives to assist eligible military personnel in training to teach in targeted schools in North Carolina.

This program is a win/win program for North Carolina schools and military personnel who aspire to a teaching career. A veteran brings much life experience,knowledge and different prospective to the classroom which the state of North Carolina believe will enhance the education of students and impact them in a positive way.

• The state also encourages military personnel nearing retirement to consider North Carolina as a permanent residence and for those who choose to do so, North Carolina offers educational benefits.

Many veterans, after serving at North Carolina military bases such as Camp Lejeune Marine Base in Jacksonville, North Carolina choose to make North Carolina their home. For those who choose to do so, the state has very attractive educational incentives for these veterans to continue their education in North Carolina schools.
