Americans call it ROTC - free college but you have to march around campus for 4 years, and do (5 years?) when you graduate. GI bill also pays college tuition in exchange for military service. some NGOs like Peace Corps and possibly Teach for America will also provide tuition reimbursement.
Changing the model to adopt more civilian alternatives would remove a big incentive to join the military, so I doubt thats going to happen anytime soon, they're already having a historically hard time recruiting.
- moate 8y agoWhile that's valid, it's possible an outside organization could do that themselves. IANAL, so there may be regulations in place relating to apprenticeships, etc. on the matter, but it seems like trade organizations could do this. We offer you a scholarship, in exchange you agree to X hours of work over the first Y months after you graduate.
