MyCAA Scholarship — Up to $4,000 for Military Spouses Pursuing Education (Offutt/Metro)

About This Opportunity

The My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) Scholarship is a Department of Defense workforce development program providing up to $4,000 in education and training funding to eligible military spouses pursuing degrees, professional certifications, or occupational licenses. MyCAA is specifically for military spouses — not the service member. Eligibility: spouse of an active duty service member in pay grades E-1 through E-5, W-1 through W-2, or O-1 through O-2. The scholarship covers tuition at any accredited college, community college, university, or vocational training program — including MCC, UNO, IWCC, and other metro institutions. For Omaha and Council Bluffs families connected to Offutt Air Force Base (one of the largest employers in the metro area), MyCAA is one of the most underutilized education benefits available. Many military spouses are unaware this scholarship exists. MyCAA funds can be used for associate or bachelor's degree programs, professional certificates, and occupational licensing exams. Applications are submitted through MyCAA at mycaa.militaryonesource.mil. Contact Military OneSource (1-800-342-9647) for guidance on applying.
