their(NAPS)—Many highfutures school and college students and their fam- ilies don’t realize it, but the road to a good education and career can begin with a single, simple step: registering with the Selective Service.

Why You Should Register That’s because registration is required to be eligible for a num- ber of valuable benefits. They include: • Eligibility for many college loans, grants and scholarships, such as Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Direct Stafford Loans/PLUS Loans, National Direct Student Loans, and College Work-Study. • Federal job training programs. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act offers programs that can train young men seeking vocational employment or enhancing their career. This program is Monte Vista open only to those men who have registered with Selective Serv- ice. Student Builders for Jan. 9 • Millions of jobs, including all federal jobs, Postal Service Alex Rosales, Paris Elmore, Freya Martell, Elena Garcia, Lucas Caron, Maryanne Nguyen, Tyler Ryan, Mileena Rodriguez Guevara, jobs, many state jobs, and an increasing number of contractor jobs. Julia Laguinto, Alex Carter, Andrew Cain, Nathaniel Samuelson, Zoe Olson, Tyler Klafter, Ivan Cruz and Anthony Calvillo. • Security clearance background investigations for government Robert Grant and some contractor jobs verify whether men are in compliance with federal law, including having registered with the Selective Service System, before hiring them. • In most states you must register if you want a driver’s license. • If a male immigrant (documented or undocumented) fails to register, he may be denied citizenship until he is 31 years old. What’s more, registration is a civic and patriotic duty. When a man registers, he shows his national pride and commitment to stand in support of his country and the all-volunteer military.

What Can Happen If You Don’t On the other hand, failure to register is a violation of the law and could carry heavy fines or even jail time. Also, anyone who knowingly helps someone to fail to comply is subject to the same penalties. While the Department of Justice is not prosecuting anybody right now, the law remains on the books. How You Can Register Fortunately, registration with the Selective Service is easy. You can do it several ways. 1.Just go online to www.sss.gov and register. 2. See your high school counselor or principal or specially designated school registrar. 3. Pick up a form in any post office and mail it in. 4. Check the “Register me” box when applying for finan- cial aid on the FAFSA form. Where To Learn More For further information, visit www.sss.gov or, to speak to some- one about registration, call (888) 655-1825.

Your future self may thank you for registering with the Selec- tive Service as soon as it’s required. John Reed
