The SpouseWorks Scholarship (formerly MyCAA) helps make professional growth more accessible by providing funding for education, training and credentials that support meaningful employment and career advancement. The scholarship is now available to eligible military spouses, including Coast Guard spouses, regardless of their service member’s rank or pay grade. Spouses of active-duty, National Guard and reserve component service members in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard may qualify for up to $4,000 in financial assistance.
This expansion reflects the War Department’s commitment to supporting military spouse careers no matter where they are in their military life or professional journey. Whether you’re starting a new career, building new skills or maintaining professional credentials, the SpouseWorks Scholarship can help you take the next step.
Eligible spouses may receive up to $4,000 in financial assistance to pursue licenses, certifications, associate degrees or continuing education courses required to maintain a professional license or certification.
