New – Army Education Center 'Open House' May 21
The Army Education Center, Building 417 on the Fort Myer portion of the joint base,
is hosting an education open house Wednesday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., for
service and family members and federal employees. The open house will provide an
opportunity for community members to check out the facility, get information on
education benefits like the Tuition Assistance program and GI Bill, meet with our on-
base college representatives (Park University, Northern Virginia Community College,
University of Maryland University College, Old Dominion University and Central
Michigan University) and enjoy a free lunch and other refreshments. Everyone's invited
to come walk though and see what we have to offer.
One of the most important aspects of education planning is how to pay for it, and
there will be two financial aid information sessions during the day: one from 10 to 11
a.m. and one from 1 to 2 p.m. Seats are limited, so an RSVP is required. Contact Tim
Battle at 703-696-1579 or tim.battle1@us.army.mil to make a reservation. Financial aid
sessions cover resources from the Department of Education, hands-on application
assistance and scholarship and student loan information. In addition, talk to education
counselors, college representatives and much more.
Here are important things to know about the Open House:
Five local colleges will be in attendance to answer questions.
U.S. Department of Education representatives will be on hand to answer questions.
“Troops to Teachers” and “Teaching as a Second Career” will be set up in Room 108,
Building 417, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who is interested in becoming a public
school teacher is welcome. Greg Coogan, Virginia Troops to Teachers coordinator will
provide information on becoming a school teacher as well as information about various
school districts.
Education counselors will be available to discuss education.
This is hosted by the Fort Myer Army Education Services Office. For more
information and to register, call 703-696-1579 or Tim.Battle1@us.army.mil.

News New – Army Education Center 'Open House' May 21 The Army Education Center, Building 417 on the Fort Myer portion of the joint base, is hosting an education open house Wednesday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., for service and family members and federal employees. The open house will provide an opportunity for community members to check out the facility, get information on education benefits like the Tuition Assistance program and GI Bill, meet with our on- base college representatives (Park University, Northern Virginia Community College, University of Maryland University College, Old Dominion University and Central Michigan University) and enjoy a free lunch and other refreshments. Everyone's invited to come walk though and see what we have to offer. One of the most important aspects of education planning is how to pay for it, and there will be two financial aid information sessions during the day: one from 10 to 11 a.m. and one from 1 to 2 p.m. Seats are limited, so an RSVP is required. Contact Tim Battle at 703-696-1579 or tim.battle1@us.army.mil to make a reservation. Financial aid sessions cover resources from the Department of Education, hands-on application assistance and scholarship and student loan information. In addition, talk to education counselors, college representatives and much more. Here are important things to know about the Open House: Five local colleges will be in attendance to answer questions. U.S. Department of Education representatives will be on hand to answer questions. “Troops to Teachers” and “Teaching as a Second Career” will be set up in Room 108, Building 417, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who is interested in becoming a public school teacher is welcome. Greg Coogan, Virginia Troops to Teachers coordinator will provide information on becoming a school teacher as well as information about various school districts.
