Alabama National Guard Educational Assistance Program (ANGEAP)
Alabama National Guard Educational Assistance Program (ANGEAP) is an award to be used for tuition and educational fees for Alabama National Guard members to attend a public postsecondary
educational institution in Alabama. The award is based on financial need. This award is for students who are active members in good standing with a federally-recognized unit of the
Alabama National Guard. Participants also may receive federal veteran’s benefits, but must show a cost less aid amount of at least $100. Applications are available from Alabama National Guard
units, Office of Financial Aid, and also can be found at www.ache.edu. Funds are limited, so students who are Guard members are encouraged to apply early. Forms must be signed by a
representative of the Alabama Military Department and the financial aid officer at the college or university the student plans to attend.
