The U. S. Army has an-
nounced a plan called Project
AHEAD that enables young
people to start college at the
same time they enlist in the
army.
According to local army rep
resentative SFC Rowland, in
dividuals who qualify apply
to one of over 800 participat
ing institutions. The college
serves as an academic file
holder. The soldier/student at
tends classes provided by ac
credited colleges right on post
or near his place of assignment.
“In the course of his army
career, the individual may at
tend classes offered by any
number of colleges,
SFC
Rowland said. “His ‘home’
school keeps a record of his
credits for review when he
returns as a veteran.”
An academic advisor at the
"home” school assists the in-
dividual in developing a pro
gram of education.
i "Project AHEAD is a pro
gram that benefits everybody
involved — the young people,
the colleges and the army,”
SFC Rowland said.
