MILITARY MEMBERS
The Armed Forces offers Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and
Marines several programs to support their educational
goals including up to 100% tuition assistance. Pending
your branch, tuition assistance may be the name of the
program or COOL (credentialing opportunities on-line).
Tuition Assistance is typically available for college
courses, vocational training, and certificate courses
taken during off-duty hours.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility,
obligated service, application process and restrictions.
This money is usually paid directly to the institution by
the individual services. Military members may receive a
voucher to share with the school for verification of
funding, and our registration advisors will support you
with obtaining approval.
