How We Help Airmen and Guardians
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
When unexpected emergencies arise, there is a financial need and help is needed, AFAS provides no-interest loans and/or grants to help meet immediate needs and make a positive step towards a lasting financial solution.
EDUCATION SUPPORT
AFAS education grants, loans and scholarships are available to dependent children or spouses of Airmen and Guardians, both active duty and retired.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
AFAS understands the challenges that come with active duty military life, from deployments to PCSs, and offers targeted community programs to help with such things as child care, car upkeep and spouse employment education.
RESOURCES FOR REFERRING LEADERS
The United States Air Force and the United States Space Force take care of their own. Many Airmen and Guardians learn how AFAS can help through referrals from Military Family Readiness Centers, Commanders, First Sergeants and Supervisors. This resource guide was developed to help this key group of leaders counsel their Airmen and Guardians on support options.
