AEX/SFEX New sites offer comprehensive, un-biased information on educational options

The Marine Corps Lifelong Learning Program has launched two new web enabled databases to provide easily accessible information on post-secondary education options, scholarship and financial aid opportunities. These new sites were developed to help Marines, family members, and Lifelong Learning Program staffs avoid the overwhelming amount of information provided by generic, often biased, web-based search engines.

The Academic Explorer (AeX) and Scholarship and Financial Aid Explorer (SFeX) can be found online at www.mcaex.net and www.mcsfex.net, respectively.
