Selective Service Registration

 

Selective Service registration is required by law as the first part of a fair and equitable system that, if authorized by the President and Congress, would rapidly provide personnel to the Department of Defense while at the same time providing for an Alternative Service Program for conscientious objectors.

By registering, a young man remains eligible for jobs, Federal student aid, State-based student aid in 31 states, Federally-funded job training, and U.S. citizenship for immigrant men.

Men must register for selective service one month before their 18th birthday.

You may be denied scholarships or a job if you have not registered.  REGISTER AT www.sss.gov
