What is the best way (branch and component) to get my MSW after graduation from ROTC?

Getting my B.S. in psychology and want to go on to graduate school to get my master's of social work. What should I branch? does it even matter? What component is best? ( I'm already in the army national guard). Are there any programs available to help me pay for graduate school? Especially interested in potentially staying with the guard.

The Army's MSW program is by far the best option. I went through the program and we had 2 Guard members in our class. From what I understand, your state has to actually pay for it unlike the rest of us that uncle Sam paid for. So, you will have to have a slot and need for 73A in your unit/state
