SpouseWorks Scholarship (formerly MyCAA)

Military spouses seeking a license, certification or associate degree

The former My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) is now called the SpouseWorks Scholarship. It provides up to $4,000 toward licenses, certifications, associate degrees and continuing education needed for a portable career. Eligibility now covers spouses of service members in all ranks and pay grades serving on qualifying Title 10 orders, a significant expansion from the old junior-rank limits.

How to use it

Create an account on the SpouseWorks portal, build an education plan with a career coach, and apply before your course starts.
