Military Assistance Mission is proud to announce a new program for our Veterans and Reserve Service Members.

The GI Gap Grant (GIGG) is a program that helps Transitioning Active Duty and Reserve Service Members when they begin college after service. When you start school there is always a gap between the time you start and the time you first receive funds for your Post 911 GI Bill or your GI Bill. We understand that hardships can happen and MAM is here to help.
