Bumping this, was just selected an wondering if I should pursue other options

The good news is there is currently no indication that internships are in jeopardy (at least in the Army side). The bad news is that it only takes a single executive order or sweeping personnel action for that to change.

How you decide to manage that risk is a personal judgment call.

How are funds appropriated for the Army's Student Loan Reimbursement Program? Is this a specific item Congress approves in the Defense Appropriations bills, or is this from a more general pool of funding given to the Army for its discretion? I'm trying to get an understanding for whether this program can easily be revoked, say by an executive order or otherwise.

I am interested in this as well. Would appreciate any insights on this. I got this email from JARO back in October before the new admin took office, so this is a longer running issue:

"There has been a recent change regarding bonuses as well. USAR is no longer offering commissioning bonuses/ student loan repayment for any MOS for the foreseeable future."

Confirming that I have also heard that no SLRP will be available, at least through USAR. I don't think it's a matter of executive order or the recent broad slashes to government activity - I think that due to the continuing resolutions beginning last year, no funding was available for the SLRP, and the current climate makes it virtually a certainty that it won't be reinstated even if a full and proper NDAA is passed.

any Army JAGs or people in the know that have intel on the paid status of the active duty internship?
