Laguna Hills, Calif. – July 7, 2009 – Takila Harvey has been married to a Marine Corps sergeant for four years now, and in that time she’s learned that being a marine wife, mother and student at the same time can be a challenge. “Allied Schools is the reason that I decided to go back to school,” she said. “I had pretty much given up on trying to further my educational goals due to the demands of being a military spouse and mother of young children.”
Mrs. Harvey’s long-term career goal is to pursue a career in information technology and to get started, she enrolled in Allied’s online Microsoft® Courses, which train students in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Windows Vista so they can compete in today’s high-tech office environment.
Distance education has been a great fit for Mrs. Harvey, allowing her to study at home while taking care of her children. “(Allied Schools) is wonderful for military spouses because it allows us to ‘go to class’ whenever the time is right for us,” she explained. “Allied has opened the door so that military spouses can be a wife, a mother and a student all at the same time.”
When service members enroll at Allied Schools using Tuition Assistance, their spouse (or a dependent) is eligible for a military spouse scholarship under the school’s in-house Military Family Scholarship Program. In addition, military spouses at 18 select installations can also enroll at Allied Schools using Career Advancement Accounts (CAA) under the governments Military Spouse Career Advancement Initiative.
