Yes, the US Army provides a college loan repayment program. This is NOT offered to people who want to be officers, it is only offered to enlisted personnel. The "fine print" is: provided that you qualify for the bonus, pick a job that is offering that particular bonus, the loans are not in default, AND you complete your training/first term. The program will be initiated upon completion of Basic Training.
I enlisted one young lady who opted for that program, and her loans were paid off for her.

you have a chocie.. you can either take SLRP( max payout $65K) OR you can take the GI Bill($100/month fo r12 months and in retrurn you can get nearly $40K towards education).
so it all depends on which makes the better choice. If you have a large amount of student loans, and have no intention whatsoever of getting a second degree or going for a Masters/Doctorate, than take SLRP. If you thinklyou might want to continue your education, then go for the GI Bill, as well as utilizing TAP while on Active Duty. 100% tuition reimbursement up to I think 18 credits a year.

Yes. But read the fine print anyway. Usually the military only does a deal like that for MD's, engineers and high tech fields for the exchange of X number of years service.
It's really a great deal if you are a military kind of person.

This really is true. You take this option instead of a GI Bill. Just make sure that it is in writing in your contract. Tell the recruiter to give you something in writing as well.
