How to Start Your MyCAA Search

Once you have settled on a career path, you can begin searching for accredited institutions that offer the necessary programs.
When searching for an accredited institution, it’s important to make sure that the school has the proper credentials.

You will need to provide documentation of your military status, proof of your spouse’s active duty status, information about your chosen program, and other information related to your educational and career goals.
In addition to the application process, you will also need to provide proof of income. The amount of assistance you receive will depend on your household income.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive a MyCAA account which you can use to pay for your educational expenses.
