Coast Guard MyCAA Education Benefits

As a military-friendly school, Abraham Lincoln University not only accepts Coast Guard education benefits for active duty service members and veterans, but for spouses and other dependents as well. Among the benefits accepted are the Coast Guard MyCAA program, explained further down the page. Before we get to MyCAA, here are a couple of other options available for Coast Guard spousal benefits which may be of use at Abraham Lincoln University:

• Coast Guard Mutual Assistance (CGMA) – The CGMA program provides Supplemental Education Grants (SEGs), which can give up to $250 per year to be used to cover spouse and family member educational expenses outside of the realm of tuition.
• CGMA Loans – The CGMA also offers loans for education to Coast Guard members and their families.
• Additional Education Assistance – The Coast Guard provides a Coast Guard spouse benefit allowing spouses to take CLEP, DANTES and other tests at no charge.
