The Georgia Military Service Scholarship (GMSS) pays for tuition, fees, room, meals, books, and uniforms for eight semesters; about $85,000 over four years. In addition to the $85,000 scholarship, most recipients earn pay and benefits as Soldiers in the Guard that total at least $30,000 and up to $55,000 during their time in college, and many are paid even more for occupying leadership roles in the Corps of Cadets. Applicants who are offered the scholarship enlist in the Georgia Army National Guard, participate in the Corps of Cadets at UNG, earn a bachelor’s degree of their choice, and upon graduating, commission into the Georgia Army National Guard as second lieutenants. We have a Guard unit on our campus for GMSS recipients and other Guard Soldiers who are cadets: so for the first two years, there is no need to commute to weekend drills. After that, they enter the Simultaneous Membership Program and shadow Guard lieutenants in their Guard units. GMSS recipients are not deployable while in college.
It is not necessary to enlist in the Guard to apply for the scholarship. However, recipients who accept scholarship offers will enlist before receiving benefits.
