Reservist College Benefits

Reserves

I'm planning to join through the Reserves while I'm in college so that I can focus on school while also getting some years of service under my belt. After I graduate, I plan to go active.

My main two questions are:

1. How much of my college would the Corps cover as a Reservist?

2. Are there specific institutions I have to attend for them to cover the costs?

Points of context:

  • I'm not joining specifically for college, but I want to understand my benefits.

  • I'm planning on going 6176 (MV-22 Crew Chief).

  • I’m trying to go to college in San Diego since it seems like the epicenter of the V-22 community.

  • Eventually, I want to go the officer route and become a pilot.

Any words of wisdom and advice is greatly appreciated. Thank y'all!
