If you've ever applied for a grant or student loan, you've probably had to jump through a few hoops and wait (and wait, and wait) for approval. But if you're applying for MyCAA Scholarship funding, good news: you could get approval and begin your coursework right away.
The process might seem confusing, but ed2go in partnership with our accredited college and university partners, have worked with hundreds of military spouses for MyCAA training and we're here to help you get started.

Figuring out what you want to do for work is the most important part of your career journey. You want to choose a career that not only excites you, but moves with you.

We offers hundreds of online courses that prepare for in-demand, portable careers. And better yet, you can complete our courses anywhere, anytime it's convenient for you!
After deciding what type of career you want to pursue, you need to determine your MyCAA eligibility. To be eligible for the MyCAA Scholarship you must meet the following requirements:
If you can check all these boxes, you're eligible to receive up $4,000 in MyCAA Scholarship funding! From there, you would want to create a MyCAA account at the Military OneSource MySECO (Spouse Education and Career Opportunities) website.

It's no secret that getting trained through a top school is important for your career. Luckily, we partner with over top 2,000 universities and colleges across the United States – many of which are MyCAA-approved and located near military communities.
