GoArmyEd / Army IgnitED
Abstract
Army IgnitED is an IT financial management portal and decision support tool for Soldiers, Cadets, and Civilians to request Tuition Assistance (TA) and Credentialing Assistance (CA), Scholarship Cadet payments and Army civilians to request training funds online, anytime, for classroom, distance learning, and college courses. Army IgnitED enforces policies, procedures and eligibility for over $492M of funds supporting Soldier and Scholarship Cadets' higher education goals and Civilians' and Apprentices' professional development. Army IgnitED's automated interfaces will reduce manpower and other costs while improving all users' interactions and enhancing security features. Funding will support continued modernization/automation of Army IgnitED's functionality utilizing the United States Airforce Automated Education Management System (AFAEMS) baseline and hosting in the USAF cloud. When the modernized system acquires all functionality, the legacy system will be deactivated. In support of recruiting and retention for a more educated workforce, Army IgnitED is the virtual financial management portal and decision-support tool for 1) AD, USAR and ARNG Soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA); 2) Cadets to request Scholarship payments and 3) Department of the Army (DA) Civilians and Apprentices to request professional development funds. Army IgnitED is an enterprise system that enforces eligibility for higher education funds and creates efficiencies with its automated processes. Soldiers, Scholarship Cadets, DA Civilians and Apprentices use it to pursue post-secondary educational goals and professional development objectives; Army Education Counselors use it to provide educational guidance; Career Program Managers and Training Managers use it to manage civilian training; and Academic Institutions use it to deliver degree and course offerings and to report user progress and degree completions for 206K Soldiers, Cadets and Civilians. Army IgnitED is an upgrade to the Army's legacy system GoArmyEd.
