Spouse Tuition Assistance Program:

The Society will immediately expand eligibility requirements of the General Henry H. Arnold Education Grant Program to include spouses at overseas locations. Please note that the Arnold Grant Program has an established application deadline of 9 Mar 2012 for AY 2012 – 2013, but due to this short notification, the Society will extend the application deadline to 30 Mar 2012 for OCONUS spouses only.
