The Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG) program provides grants to financially needy, placebound Washington residents as an incentive to complete a four-year degree at an eligible four-year college.  The grant’s purpose is to encourage students who have already earned an Associate of Arts or Sciences Degree, or have achieved junior standing, to complete a four-year degree.  For more information and the application, go to www.hecb.wa.gov/eog.

This is an officer training program.  If, after the summer training, you decide the Marine Corps is not for you, cancel your enrollment and you will not be obligated to serve.  This program allows you the flexibility to change your career path.  For more information, contact:
