Recruiting & Retention Lack of State Education Benefits


14

» STRATEGIC ISSUE: Arizona is the only state that does not provide an Education Benefit to members of its National Guard, hurting recruiting and retention due to competition by neighboring states and the federal military components.

» OBJECTIVE: Restore funding to the AZNG Post Secondary Education Reimbursement program that has been established since 1974. (A.R.S. §§ 26-179, 180, 181)

− The last appropriation in FY09 was $1.446M. An appropriation of $1M would support an estimated 369 of the approximate 700 Soldiers and Airmen joining the AZNG last year.
