Student Loan Repayment
The Student Loan Repayment Program will pay up to $20,000 in student loans to those who have an existing student loan obligation at the time of enlistment in the Army National Guard. In addition, current Army National Guard members who extend their enlistment contract for a minimum period of six years are also eligible for this program if they meet certain requirements.
Members can use the Student Loan Repayment Program, in addition to TA and GI Bill Kicker; i.e. get student loans for living expenses, travel expenses, etc. and then have the ARNG pay off these loans through the SLRP. In essence, you can use all three programs. SLRP is one of the least used benefits, yet one of the easiest to qualify for and receive.
