MY CAREER ADVANCEMENT ACCOUNT SCHOLARSHIP Military spouses are encouraged to use the My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) Scholarship to pursue education and professional credentials. The National Defense Authorization Act expanded the program to help pay tuition up to $4,000 for a license, certification or associate degree to pursue any occupation or career. As long as the military spouse, school and a Spouse Education and Career Opportunities career coach work together to define a clear career path, called an education and training plan, the funds can be applied. Spouses of service members in pay grades E-1 through E-5, W-1 through W-2 and O-1 through O-2 are eligible. Under the law, spouses will remain eligible for the financial assistance if their sponsor is promoted above the eligible ranks as long as they have initiated the process and have an approved education and training plan in place.
