# A Lifetime Education Free for High School Graduates Who Qualify: U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps

A young woman in a Cadet Nurse Corps uniform and cap looks upward against a deep blue ground, while two young women in civilian dress hold schoolbooks behind her. A panel reads 'A lifetime education free for high school graduates who qualify'. The tell is an aspirational offer of free education joined to the uniform's status.
