University help
Additional information
Hi, I wish to go to university to do history and become a history teacher but I wish to join the paras or royal engineers after my A levels. I have heard that the army will pay for or help pay for uni tuition costs. Will this apply after I leave the army? Will it help for the £9,500 tuition costs?
