Attention Military Families with students taking SAT/ACT tests!

A great program for Active or Retired Military members that have children that are approaching college age and are preparing to take their ACT/SAT.

 

Los Angeles California, Oct 2005 In association with The Department of Defense (DoD), eKnowledge LLC announces that a group of NFL, NFL Europe, AFL and CFL football players all represented through the Victory Sports Group Agency, has sponsored several million dollars worth of $199 SAT and ACT test prep programs to every family in the U.S. Military (all branches-active or retired) for the school year 2005-2006. Specifically, the sponsorship allows any military person (active or retired) to request as many programs as they need for the students in their lives-for example a military uncle can use his military status to order a program(s) for the students in his extended family back home-any military person can order a program to help any student in his or her life.  To have access to the sponsorship the person placing the order must be military (active or retired).   The Department of Defense has created a secure website to quickly confirm a person’s military status.  Personnel can access the confirmation and order pages through several military related associations and organizations, including: The Department of Defense MilitaryStudent.org

http://www.MilitaryStudent.org

and Military HOMEFRONT websites for families, The Military Child Education Collation, The Military Impacted Schools' Association, and The National Military Families Association all have access to confirm military status and process the order.  Programs ship to domestic U.S. addresses and APO addresses.  The sponsorship covers the regular purchase price of $199 and the family pays only the S&H. The programs have a one-year license and are intended for the sole individual use of students on their personal home or laptop computer and are not intended for group or classroom instruction through the schools. Requests to receive the sponsored program can be placed now on the website or over the phone.

How Military Families Request The $199 Programs
A military person visits one of the websites to confirm their military status through the secure Department of Defense main Database. That website will then forward the person to the sponsorship order page where they can request the programs. The sponsorship will cover the $199.99 cost for the program. The families pay only the s/h of $9.95.
