What does the Performance Based-Graduate School Incentive Program (PB-GSIP) require from participants after completing their schooling?

The Performance Based-Graduate School Incentive Program (PB-GSIP) is designed to incentivize service members to further their education and enhance their skills, which ultimately benefits the Army. Upon completion of their advanced schooling through this program, participants are required to fulfill a service obligation that is structured on a 3:1 ratio. This means that for every year of schooling funded by the program, the participant must serve an additional three years on active duty.

This requirement is in place to ensure that the investment made by the Army in the member's advanced education is reciprocated through continued service, contributing to the Army's operational needs and maintaining a highly skilled force. The focus on a 3:1 ratio underscores the importance of education in developing leaders and specialists within the Army, reinforcing both personal and organizational growth.
