National Guard Partnership
Take Advantage of Guard Benefits
Butler Community College partners with the Kansas Army National Guard to help students not only pay for college, but to gain knowledge, respect, and leadership. Students can serve the citizens of Kansas and receive valuable training while simultaneously pursuing their degrees. The Kansas National Guard offers several ways for you to pay for your college education so you can graduate from college with little or no college debt. You will receive pay or compensation for every day you serve, and this includes all time spent in training. In other words, the Guard will pay for you to learn valuable job skills that translate to the civilian workforce… all while you earn your college degree.
