Yeah, there's a boatload of jobs that aren't combat. Although that doesn't mean their skills aren't vital to make a great combat force even far from the battlefield itself.

Looks to be that way, yes. That's about the same/slightly more than what current student from England and wales pay now.


I still would much rather attend college in Sweden if I can find a way around the language barrier and if it is any more affordable..

But I do have friends who live in the UK. But family in Sweden. So those two places are my top places I am looking at outside the U.S.

Depends.

If the school is international but it has ties with the U.S and is applicable for Federal Aid funds (which I do not see how this would make any damn sense, but assuming it does) then no, it wouldn't.

If on the other hand said uni is not part or even recognized by the U.S. then no, Federal Aid funds are not applicable for those unis.

Have you filled your FAFSA already?!


Not yet, am I supposed to this early?!


You should be done with it by fall of your senior year, latest march of your senior year before you graduate.

Are you an EU resident? No, I don't think so. Therefore your tuition in Scotland would be around what it is for other international students in the UK, tends to go for around £17000 a year.
If you're counting on getting UK citizenship, do note it takes 5 years of residence to get it.

Hell, every one deploys, but a lot of jobs stay on FOB's. They never leave the wire, and work in actual workspaces with AC and mortar proof bunkers nearby.

I'd recommend using this year's taxes from your parents then. And I recommend filling them out by November if you want to plan on early and call Universities and Colleges (big, small, community) so that you can fill an "early registration" form once you are satisfied.

Several colleges let you apply as early as December. So, somewhere in November is when you should have that done.
