MyCAA Military Spouse Scholarship Program

Earn military tuition assistance and a variety of education benefits and financial aid at UMGC Europe.

As a military spouse, you deserve a high-quality education that leads to an in-demand career. What's more, you need a career path that's portable, so relocation never gets in the way of reaching your goals. You may be eligible for up to $4,000 in financial assistance through the MyCAA scholarship program.


See the guidelines below for eligibility requirements and program details:

  • Spouses of service members on active duty in pay grades E-1 to E-6*, W-1 to W-2 and O-1 to O-3* who have successfully completed high school and have the ability to request tuition assistance while their military sponsor is on Title 10 military orders are eligible.
  •  Spouses married to members of the National Guard and reserves in these same pay grades are eligible.

* The first 1,250 approved applicants in pay grades E-6 and O-3 will receive MyCAA financial assistance based on available funding.

For more information about MyCAA, please visit the FAQ page or contact your UMGC Europe academic advisor. We also encourage you to explore the many financial aid opportunities available to you while enrolled in UMGC Europe. These include Pell Grants, scholarships, loans, and monthly payment plans.
