The California National Guard Education Assistance Program (CNGEAP) is a new program approved by the State Legislature last July 28 that will provide financial assistance for California National Guard members to get a college education. Before this legislation, California was the only state in the nation that did not offer education incentives to reward and retain National Guard members who have not been deployed on a federal overseas deployment and can’t benefit from Post-9/11 G.I. Bill and Montgomery G.I. Bill. CNGEAP will begin in January 2010 with $1.8 million to cover the majority of fees associated with attending a public or qualifying private institution.
Does anybody know whether or not CSMR members are eligible to apply under the program?

Yes.
