Vocational Career Training for Military Students
Make your military benefits pay off by jump-starting your career.
You have served our country well, and now it’s our turn to return the favor. The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, but RSI is here to help you achieve success on the road from service to career.
If you have served in the military or are a dependent of someone who has, there may be exclusive opportunities and benefits available that can help you pursue a new vocational career. For example:
GI Bill® and MyCAA programs are available for eligible veterans, active duty and dependents.
Military tuition pricing is available to eligible military members including active duty, reserves and National Guard members, veterans, active duty spouses and dependent children, military retirees, and honorably discharged veterans. (Check with RSI for eligibility.)

If you’re ready to start looking for ways to afford your education, you should first talk to an admissions representative, then a financial aid advisor, who can help you find the right military and VA tuition funding programs available at our school, in addition to any other financing options.
