I'm on my last term with using the GI Bill, I have a handful of classes that I have to complete before being awarded my degree. Is anyone aware of any additional sources that I can look into in regards to getting more funds to pay for the remainder of my college. Hopefully someone has a secret squirrel honey hole they want to share with me...and or pay for the rest of my school that would also work..thanks guys!

Fry some hamburgers at your local fast food joint when you are not hitting the books.

And I saw you're helicopter maintenance, did you get FAA airframe and power plant (A&P) licensure at all? Have toy done any pilot training at all, even private pilot or aeronautics at all? I'd just thought to ask that, as well....

Capt Daniel Goodman I have not I should have gotten my A&P before leaving San Diego at the time it was that high on my priorities list..the field I'm looking to move into to would be more Robotics/Engineering/A.I something like what Nortop Grumman is doing with the unmanned UAV...

If you can get the FAA A&P using your ACE or DANTES mil transcript, or go back and pick it up, it'd be quite useful, as an ME or aero emgr (AE), I assure you, honest...esp with a PE as well....

There's a special place people who need money can go. Within two weeks or a month at the most, money appears. It's called WORK!

Most universities have a veterans service office that can guide you towards funding available through the university, the state, or local veterans organizations. Each university and each state has different resources available.

Are you currently under a hybrid program (traditional/online) or full time? Some universities offer part time employment that waive tuition or books, even provide you the opportunity to give a weekend presentation on your experiences or topic you feel is relevant. As a service member you have a very valuable skill set that schools are in desperate need to tap into. Please consult with your advisor for any and all opportunities.

Check out the Veteran NGOs. MOAA and all of them have both grants and scholarships. Wish I could point you to one for sure, but research is free and could pay off.

I can suggest some stuff, it'd just depend also on a few things, OK? What major are you? GPA? Grades? STEM coursework? Do you want to stay in? Senior enlisted? Warrant? Commissioned? Flight? Clinical interests? Would you stay USMC or go interservice at all? If USMC, most obv know of NROTC, though I didn't know if you knew of USMC Platoon Leaders Course (PLC), that generally isn't as we'll known...if you're willing to try interservice, if USCG, they have their own scholarship program, if clinical at all, look at the USPHS COSTRP, the USPHS analogue to an ROTC, as well. Try to do a detailed bio sketch, interests, reading, ambitions, grad school wishes, what major or majors for grad school, would you want masters only, or doctoral also? Clinical doctoral? Academic doctoral? Research interests? There are regionally accredited programs I could suggest, Excelsior in NYS that was govt and privatized, Thomas Edison in NJ, Oak Tree in CT, also, the CLEP, and, did you transfer in any credits at all from anywhere? Did you get a DANTES or Amer Council on Educ (ACEL mil transcript for your USMC or other svc coursework? Have you looked at USAF Community College of the AF (CCAF), which, while assocs only, might also not be usable by other svcs, though I'm assuming your going for a bachelors...how many credits is you bachelors? Have you tried for college work study (CWS) at all? You'd have to be evald to see if you could be allowed, also, see if any faculty if you'd want to go grad level where you are might he willing to consider you for a grad level assistantship, GA (admin), RA, (research), or TA (teaching)? Have you done any grad level exams yet? GTE genl test? GRE subj tests, hose used to be allowed by Excelsior for 30 pass fail credits, Oak Tree or Thomas Edison I believe allowed 24 pass fail credits, with a minimum raw score, not just a minimum percentile, though that might've been stopped. Look up Univ of the People, it's not regionally accredited, it's under DEAC, which while Federally recognized, isn't a panacea, I'm unsure if it:s accepted by VA, the svcs, or industry, their ofcs are in Calif, they have zero tuition, just admin and exam fees, prorated by per capita income of a given country, they were endorsed by the Vatican, I've read good things, they have assocs and bach in bus admin, comp sci (CS), and health sci, as well as an MBA, however, don't take them purely on my say so, tour really need to check, as I'm unsure, as I'd said, if VA, the svcs, or industry accept them yet, OK? Do you want industry? Guard? Reserve? AGR? guard Tech? Reserve Tech? Law? Have you done the GMAT? The LSAT? The MCAT? Any other clinical entrance exams, if your interests lie in such a direction, dental, optometric, whatever, I was merely curious, those are my thoughts for now, explain most re, elaborate, as I'd said, the more you send in, the more I or others her could possibly suggest, OK? I'd be most eager to hear more, look also at the state maritime colleges, if you'd want to transfer, though if you're nearly done with your Bach, you likely wouldn't want to, VMI, the Citadel...do you want an OCS? An OIS indoc program if direct commission? Just some further thoughts, relate more, I'd be genuinely newly interested, hope that was all of at least some use, OK?

Understand pleasez I realize your object, as you'd explained it, if you can also get sport pilot, private pilot, instrument rating, multiengine rating, and commercial pilot, both fixed and rotary wind, see if there's a mil aero club near you, take advantage of it, OK?
