Let's face it, in today's society it's important to go to school. Regardless of your need, from remedial classes to a master's degree, the base education office can probably assist you with just the right program. On the average about 425 military and more than 800 civilians sign up every quarter to receive tuition assistance for school. The total enrollment every quarter is between 1,200 and 1,600. This includes civilians, military and dependents. Ami nrasfliiflutDOim wiituiira "We have money, programs and counselors," remarked Wilber Hedrick, the base Education Services Officer. Currently the opportunities are abundant for those who want to take advantage of them. e from Weber Counselors are available and State Utah State College University. The educational opportunities that are available through the base education office include the following schools: Utah State, Weber State, Utah Technical College, University of Utah, Brigham Young University and the University of Phoenix. Utah State and Weber State are currently the only two schools that offer classes on base.The other schools provide extension classes within the local area and in commuting distance. Programs offered on base through Utah State University include master of applied statistics, master of computer science, master of social science, master of home economics education, bachelor's degree in business administration and several on-bas- others. Weber State College offers programs in corrections and law enforcement, logistics management, V courses, general studies and associ- pre-engineeri- ate degrees in science, art, and law enforcement cor- rections. r Military members who entered the service Jan. later are eligible to receive financial aid under the Veterans Educational Assistance Program. This program allows you to contribute up to $2,700 of your own money and the Air Force will double that amount. This will give you a maximun 1, 1977 or 1 of $8,100 for education, technical, or hands-otrainfor a or vocation. can choose Personnel to ing job either have the money taken from their monthly pay or put in a lump sum whenever you choose, as long as you are on active duty. Persons who failed to con n iflse 1? tribute a minimum of $25 prior to June 30, 1985, are currently not eligible for VEAP assistance. Those members who signed up for the military by Dec. 31, 1976, are eligible to receive full benefits from the G.I. Bill. This includes 100 percent of your tuition paid if you attend classes while on active duty or you can receive a regular monthly check during the time you attend school after separation from the military. The check amount will depend on your enrollment status and the number of dependents you have. The deadline for receiving full benefits is Dec. 31, 1989. Military members who signed up for the Tuition Assistance Program prior to the end of June 1985 are authorized between 75 percent and 90 percent tuition assistance from the Air Force for courses taken through accredited colleges or universities. The amount of assistance depends on your rank. Nancy Atkinson, the lead education technician at the base education office, noted most of the "in state" institutions have in the past been able to meet the demands of base personnel. However, work has begun on attracting one school that will be the first to come from out of state and offer classes on base. By the fall of this year Mr. Hedrick Aero-- . hopes to have an extension of Embry-Riddl-e nautical University on base. "It's the Cadillac of aeronautical schols," said Mr. Hedrick. Students enrolled at Embry-Riddl- e will be able to pursue associate or bachelor degrees in aeronautics. Civilians are also encouraged to pursue their goals through the base education office. "We don't fund for civilians, but Civilian Training can. If the class is they will pay 50 percent of the tuition for each class," Ms. Atkinson said. For more information you're invited to stop in and discuss your educational needs with their qualified staff at the education office in Bldg. 368. job-relate- d GOVERNMENT PUBLIC AUCTION VEHICLES ALL VEHICLES OFFERED INDIVIDUALLY WHEN: 9:00 a.m., Wed.,, March 12, 1986 WHERE: GSA Storage Lot, n ROOT B3 - h AUGQEUT - IARANTEE WHH a Most Passenye.
