Louisiana had this incentive program also. It doesn't interfere with GI Bill since tuition exemption is state funded not federal. Obviously, the soldier has to juggle annual training and/or deployment requirements. I found that speaking to professors regarding conflicts with training to be productive. Normally, this program would be only eligible at state funded schools. One thing that will happen is a higher turnover at the end of the 6 year commitment due to graduation and potential of out of state moves to accommodate new civilian careers.

I honestly see no issue since it would be state funded as opposed to federal. In any case, I attended college online while deployed and also after I redeployed to CONUS after my deployments ended as I was retained on Title 10 status a guard soldier and there was no conflict. My point is that state funding should interfere with GI Bill education benefits any more than an active duty soldier or NGAR soldier attending college while on active duty orders....
Stay productive, keep a clean service record, and maintain the acceptable GPA and it’s done deal, and oth no tuition costs to the soldier....
