Real Education Assistance
The Air Force Tuition Assistance (TA) program is designed to help active-duty personnel pursue voluntary, off-duty educational opportunities. Currently, the program pays 100% (up to $250 per semester hour or equivalent) of the cost of college tuition with a limit of $4500 per fiscal year. Courses and degree programs may be academic or technical and can be taken from two- or four-year institutions on base, off base or by correspondence.
The Montgomery G.I. Bill (MGIB) is an assistance program created to attract quality men and women to the Armed Forces. The MGIB program provides up to 36 months of benefits to eligible persons for education and training opportunities. These benefits may be used for degree and certificate programs, flight training, apprenticeship/on-the-job training and correspondence courses. Generally, benefits are payable for 10 years following release from active duty.
The College Loan Repayment Program (CLRP) is for all non-prior service persons considering enlistment in the Air Force. If you have taken some college courses and have accumulated debt, this program may be for you. Participants must sign up for this program when signing the enlistment contract. Under CLRP, the repayment maximum is $10,000 per recruit.

The militray will pay a portion of your education costs while you are on active duty. You will also have the opportunity to save for college with the air force matching your savings. After you leave the service, you may be elligible for VA college benefits of a certain sum per month to help with college expenses. If you want a completely paid for college degree, you will have to qualify for the Air Force Academy. You will get your education and have a pretty good job waiting after college as an officer in the Air Force.

It depends on what sort of a collage you wish to make. If you are going to use your own photos, then I would imagine they will pay for such items as glue, poster board, and the pretty glitter paint for you to write witty quips next to your photos. If you need to buy photos or magazines or something else to start your collage, they probably won't cover that cost.

In a short word- no.
The Air Force has lots and lots of people who want to join- so they don't need to give people money to join.
The Army (at this time) Has for some certain jobs up to 50,100.oo available for college. Some jobs in the Army have 100,000.oo re-enlistment bounus's.
Don't worry- you're 13, it'll change in 5 years, and a draft is coming anyway. Good Luck, Kid

I don't know about a collage but they might just pay for your college. Stay in school and pay attention to your spelling.

Have you considered AFROTC? They have four year scholarships available for high school seniors and some partial in-college scholarships. Check out http://www.AFROTC.com
