Family Readiness increases grants

The New Jersey National Guard State Family Readiness Council has increased the amounts of family and business grants up to $5,000 and $10,000, respectively. Both grants are known as TIER I grants.

TIER II family grants are also available to New Jersey Army and Air National Guard non-deployed servicemembers who served on State Active Duty or State Missions (e.g., hurricanes, floods, border missions) for more than 20 consecutive days. Servicemembers meeting these criteria are eligible to apply for a financial hardship grant up to $1,500.

Applications are available at all New Jersey Army and Air National Guard Family Assistance Centers.

Free SAT/ACT software

Thanks to eKnowlege and concerned professional athletes, free $200 SAT/ACT Power- Prep™ programs are available to military service members and their extended families.

It was announced recently that six time allstar and future Hall of Fame baseball player Chipper Jones has joined the SAT/ACT Power- Prep Sponsorship Program.

eKnowledge also recently announced the release of the completely new PowerPrep™ version 6xtra. The new software includes more than 20 hours of video instruction and 3,000 files of supplemental test prep material, thousands of interactive diagnostic tools, sample questions, practice tests and graphic teaching illustrations are indexed for easy use. The software is MAC and PC compatible.

Families interested in ordering FREE SAT/ ACT PowerPrep™ Programs should visit: www. eknowledge.com/military. There is a small fee of $13.84, which enables eKnowledge to provide technical and customer support, registration, licensure, processing, handling and shipping.
