$6000 Tuition for Military Spouses

I am currently attending University of San Francisco through their online learning campus. I will have a Master Certificate in Internet Marketing in March. The cost of the program was $5995.00.

I had heard of a tuition assistance program through the Department of Defense for military spouses. I applied online, was approved immediately and started classes the following week. If your husband or wife is serving in the United States military, you are likely eligible. Check it out for yourself.

In this economy, we need to expand our skills and make ourselves a valuable and rare commodity to our clients and employers. It’s not always easy or feasible to go back to school on a military income. With this extraordinary financial support by the Department of Defense, every military spouse should know about this and take advantage of it. Our spouses do not get paid nearly enough for the service they provide to this fine country.

I chose to attend University of San Francisco based on its one-of-a-kind Internet Marketing program. I have been extremely happy with the program and its instructors. I have so much to say about the program and will do that in an upcoming blog post.

My counselor, Natalie Clark has put 110% effort into making sure I was on track throughout the program. There were days when my husband was deployed, my nine-month old was teething and my greeting card business had deadlines that were nearly impossible to meet. Natalie was a phone call or email away and always responded in a flash! I swear she had to have come with some pretty deep, hands-on experience with the challenges and fears of being married to the military!

Here’s a few words from Natalie:

There is a fantastic opportunity available to all military spouses to utilize up to $6000.00 for professional development.

You can view the details at: https://aiportal.acc.af.mil/mycaa/.

As a program representative I have had the privilege of enrolling Terry-Anne and many others into our certificate programs. They are offered through the University of San Francisco, Villanova University, Tulane University and the University of Notre Dame, 100% online. You can view the University Alliance Programs at www.universityalliance.com.

Feel free to email me with any questions, natalie-clark@universityalliance.com.

Reading More Thanks to (Free) Kindle for iPhone

I love reading and have always gone through stages where I read a few books at a time or none. Then I discovered Kindle for iPhone. I started taking classes at University of San Francisco (online) last year and some of the recommended books were available on Kindle. Curiosity got the best of me. Thank goodness I’m intrigued by technology! I gave it a shot and have never looked back.

I can’t imagine buying a paper copy of any book nowadays if it’s available for Kindle. I read everywhere – a paragraph here, a paragraph there. I read while waiting in the doctor’s office, the salon and even while pumping gas! I am certifiably addicted. I even read in the tub! (Don’t try to visualize that!).

Top Reasons to Read the Kindle Version:

  1. Kindle version is cheaper than a paper copy.
  2. Lots of free kindle versions of books, newspapers, magazines, etc.
  3. Immediate downloads. No shipping cost! Woohoo!
  4. Easy to pick up where you left off by automatic page saving feature.
  5. Oh, and you’re saving a tree or two.

I can even add a Kindle Gift Card to my birthday and Christmas wishlist now! Amazon has it covered.

One downside that I thought I’d encounter upon entering the Kindle world was not finding it as interesting or pleasurable as reading a real world paper version. Wrong, wrong and wrong! It’s actually better. I’m hooked for all the reasons above and more.

Of course I’d love to have an actual Kindle so I could keep all of the books in one place and separate from my iPhone which I have loaded with apps of all kinds. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day and I need to replenish my wardrobe before dropping the loot on a real man’s Kindle.

Here are a few of the books I’ve read so far on my free Kindle iPhone App

A couple of Kindle versions of books that were free and I’m reading now…
